You'll find it covers all of the major areas of these cars with projects ranging from small, simple tune-ups to major rebuilds.

There are illustrations, tables, charts, cutaway views, exploded views, black-and-white photographs and more. The tasks have been organized completely, accurately and efficiently, so you can spend less time spinning wrenches and more time smiling behind the wheel.

If you need all of the specifications and instructions for getting to work on your Strato-Streak 90-degree V-8, you'll quickly discover the details for that fine, 347 cubic-inch marvel have been packed neatly into these pages. Whether you have the 10.0:1 compression ratio or the 8.5:1 compression version, with this book, you're all set. In 1957, the Chieftain models came equipped with two-barrel carburetors, while the Super Chief and the Star Chief models used four-barrel carburetors.
