This 700+ page reference book is what taught Chrysler service technicians how to work on your car, back when it was new. Wiring diagrams, photos, very detailed descriptions of how to dismantle, repair, assemble and adjust... you name it. Even if you don’t do your own repairs, having this manual available will make you a popular customer with your mechanic, who is undoubtedly much more familiar with FWD, computerized stuff. You can find this book for the cost of a few tanks of gas, and if you read even 10% of the manual, you will have gotten your money's worth. It is truly a gem, much better written and containing far more detailed information than factory manuals of more recent years. I turn to my '64 shop manual regularly, even when working on modern cars, because today's manuals basically cover the preliminary stuff and then say "For anything further, take it to your mechanic." What good is that?

One caveat: the brand new 273-V8 engine is not covered in the 1964 book, presumably because the books were printed before the option was available. If you have one of those first-year V8 cars, you’ll want to get the 1965 book instead.

A great place to search for vendors who sell these books is in Hemmings Motor News, the Bible of the Old Car industry.

Tom Condran is one of the nicest and most helpful people in the industry. He has put a lot of time and money into gaining more knowledge about mopars than any of us can imagine. He is a member of our local club in San Jose, CA. Each club meeting he gives a how-to and tech information speech that is always very informative. So if you can, buy the book from him-- he doesn't make much money on it at all.

I can't believe I procrastinated so long before finally getting myself a copy and now I have read it cover to cover... it's nothing short of amazing. For anyone who wants a clear, non-technical description of how suspensions work, why Chrysler designed certain angles the way they did (and which things you should not change), and especially which parts interchange with which other parts... my advice is before spending a single dime on your project, spend $30 on his book and become more wealthy in knowledge than you'd ever dreamed possible. His description of why and where I might want to use polyurethane vs. rubber pieces is especially enlightening.

Condran's "TRULY HOW TO" gave me the courage to dive right in on my vert and do everything ooh so right. I can't wait to meet him and shake his hand it's that good... and he SAVED me hundreds in misspent dollars to make my vert handle the way I wanted it to... WHEEEEE!!!!!!! 8^)))))
