"There is a place on line that has Chrysler Corp shop manuals
on CD rom. If you have access to a computer, you can print out the pages
from the CD rom, and have pages you can take to the shop, get dirty, and not
worry about ruining an expensive book."----
-I just read what John wrote, and want to point out that the club's webmonsters, the people that work on the website content, are doing their best to make this information available for free to you from any computer with internet access, as demonstrated with the brake booster diagram.
These items are located off the various yearly pages, or the site's Main Page ---> Repair ---> Factory Literature (bottom mutton).

Check this page for something applicable to your current or soon-to-be car for information if you have not bought a service manual yet. Browsing these might also let you see why you should be laying out cash for an actual manual for your year. Hopefully we'll get the entire set up there some day.

In addition to service manuals, Chrysler Dealership staff were expected to attend monthly service training courses presented on stop-action filmstrips with record-player accompanyment. See this information for greater detail about changes and service procedures as they were communicated to the dealer network. The above link goes to the place that the monthly 1947-1973 training materials are located. Blue ones are live - black are yet to be done.
