bentley manual

[csstrask]

Wanting to buy a Bentley manual for my 77 Euro (3.0 930-02). The blurb on the cover of the SC manual says it covers engines 930-04 , 07 and 16. Is this still the manual I need? Will my car/engine be significantly different? Or do I need a different publication?

A stock ROW '77 w 3.0 is called a Carrera 3.0. Is that what you have? Or is it a 2.7 w/ transplanted 3.0?

The C3 engine was a cross between the earlier 2.7 and later 3.0 SC engines. The Bentley SC will be useful and cover most but not all of what you might want Everything on the SC was pretty much a minor evolutionary change from the '76-77 C3 except the engine. In particular, the bottom end of the C3 would not be covered correctly in an SC manual. There are no manuals other than factory that are dedicated to the C3.

Thanks for the info. The car is a Carrera 3.0

Then the Bentley will cover most of what you need, there will be difference primarily in the engine bottom end.

I got along fine w/ an Autobooks 911 manual for years w/ my '76 C3. AFAIK they are nla

The Bentley manuals are excellent. I have both the Carrera book, which works well for my SC, and the Boxster book. They make Haynes look like comics.
