Have you considered Wayne's book or else the Factory Manuals, both of which are sold by Pelican? Otherwise there is always Ebay.

[XR]stud,
You also want a printed parts manual (in addition to PET6 on CD) and the “Service and Training Information” manual. All available new from Porsche and Pelican.

I encourage everyone to make their own custom photocopy manual for their particular car. This should include select photocopies out of the relevant factory manuals, Pelican info, copies from books and periodicals specific to your car (fair use), your own notes and images, a record of exactly the technical history of the car, and the activity history. This is the ultimate scrapbook. Make two copies, one for permanently with the car and one for your personal historical collection.

I wish I had done a better job of this in my 40 years of playing with Porsche. We have a PCSM for a 914-6 race car that has cut-n-paste parts manual with all the RSR, 935 and 917 p/n put in, engine specs, alignment specs, photos of engine components, race history, race photos, SCCA log books (3), etc.

If I were buying a previously owned 911 and it had a professional looking, extensive, and accurate Porsche Car Specific Manual (PCSM) with it, I would pay more $.

Best,
Grady
