Welcome, Gene. First step is to call Skyport Services and get the packet of manuals for your aircraft. Contact information is at: http://skyportservices.net/ Click on the link for "Aircraft General and Miscellaneous Items" and browse the manuals. In particular, for your 415-D, I'd suggest you get: 415 SET PARTS, SERVICE and AD MANUALS (set) ...... (SAVE $7.50) .... $ 49.00 FLITE OP FLIGHT OPERATIONS MANUAL (Specify Models; 415-C, 415-D, E, G, F-1, F-1A, or A-2)..... (each) $ 7.50 CONTSET CONTINENTAL ENGINE OVERHAUL, OPERATOR'S and PARTS (set). SAVE $4.50 . $ 27.00 If you have Eisemann mags: EISEMANN MAGNETO SERVICE and PARTS MANUAL..................................................................... $ 9.50 Whichever is appropriate for your plane: MARVEL MARVEL-SCHEBLER CARBURETOR OVERHAUL and PARTS MANUAL.................. $ 18.95 STROMBERG CARBURETOR OVERHAUL and PARTS MANUAL......................................................... $ 13.50 TIGER TWIN TAIL TIGER (Capsule History & Tips)....................................................................... $ 2.00 STORY THE ERCOUPE STORY by Collins (1946) ........................................................................... $ 2.00 Next, for general maintenance practices, you should get a copy of the book "Aircraft Repair Manual" which includes FAA AC 43.13-1 and FAA AC 43.13-2 and Additional Repair Procedures. I think it's a standard reference for mechanics.
