Workshop Manual

[cjameson]

Hey guys, I picked up a 1968 912 the other day, but it's kind of rough . It's been sitting a while and I could really use a workshop manual as this will be my first entry in to porsches. I've searched through the pelican parts pages for a workshop manual, but it appears they only have them for the 911. Can anyone recommend a good manual to pick up?

Thanks

Performance Products lists one, its called 912 Handbook $19.16. I found Duane Spencers, The Complete Porsche 912 Guide to be handy also $24.95.

The Harry Pellows book ABC's of 912's is a good read;-)

The price for his third edition paper back is going for a small fortune on ebay. However you can still get the book on CD.

I agree with Chas, the orange book is full of great information. I completely overlooked that one.

That appears to be the same one Joe recommended, it looks pretty comprehensive, I ordered it this morning

Here is something else you will likely find handy

Parts Catalog

In the "Remarks" column - where is says -68 - that means it applies to 68 and older. Remember - everything but the motor on your car is the same as a 911.

w6zo, thank you so much, that is exactly what I needed next. There was this small rubber part missing that holds the brake and clutch pedals where they should be, and when i mentioned it to numerous porsche shops, they hadn't a clue what I was talking about. Thanks to this file, I instantly found the part #, googled it, and found the part in two seconds, unbelievable...
