Larry Sorry did not mean to pile on. I had not read Rich's response regarding the car being a grand am not a trans am before I sent my reply. -- About that motor and it being a bitch to service and the plugs being hard to get to. I will probably have most of the work done by my mechanic friend down the street. I am sure I will try to tackle some of it myself. Good news about the plugs is that they were just changed this winter. He went with the double platinum plugs. I don't know that I would have gone that rout. Not saying that they are nessasaraly the wrong plug because I really don't know. I just have heard from some people that they are over rated. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I don't know a lot about plugs but I have successfully installed quite a few sets in my day. but I think since they are in there and it is running quite nice, I will leave them right where they are.

Only one problem beside the money to do such a thing is that I picked up a Grand am, not a trams am. This is more of a standard 4 door grocery getter. Don't get me wrong it is still a sweet ride. It is a 1996 and only has 37,000 miles on it that is not 137,000 that's 37,000. and you are not going to believe this but the car has been in Minnesota the whole time and does not have a lick of rust, (What we up here call MRC, that is to say Minnesota Road Cancer) on it. The car has been meticulously maintained. It was given to us by a deer friend and he takes great care of all his stuff. That is part of the reason I want to get an owners manual, so I can keep the car in tip top shape for many years to come.

Street racer or hotrod power tour builder? Could be fun... GM crate 502, race built 4 le-60 trans, upgrade the existing disk brakes and suspension? You never know bro that could be a wild child. You might try checking out Motors manuals, Chilton's manuals or Mitchell manuals on the internet. These guys are all shop manuals and are available on CD.

Moore Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 9:55 PM To: Blind Handyman Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Owners manual for a car My Wife and I are going to be picking up a 1996 Grand Am Is there some where on line that I could get the manual to down load? If not that, does any one know if it would be available to get the owners manual on a CD so that I could read it on my computer? I don't really care what form it takes, I am just looking for any way that I can access the owners manual my self without having some one like my Wife read it to me. Personally I would find reading the manual not only informative but it would be interesting. Evie on the other hand would find it most boring and tedious.
