Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

My search didn't turn up any available Chilton's or Haynes manuals for that year Bonneville. That doesn't mean they don't exist, just that I didn't find any.

I did find a copy of the original shop manual on CD here if you're interested. The last one on the page looks like it might be what you want.

On a car that old, your best bet might be to prowl the used bookstores. There's one near me that has a bunch of manuals, mostly Chilton, on the shelf for '70s and '80s vintage cars at dirt-cheap prices ($3 or $4 a pop).

do you just need the parts list? If so check out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-Bon ... _500wt_921

Otherwise I would just look on ebay or amazon I got a Factory Service Manual for a 98 Bonneville for $30 shipped when new it costs 130+shipping.

Try ames performance
I have a catalog around here somewhere but can't seem to find it right now.
That catalog has absolutely anything and everything you could possibly need for your Bonneville. And the best part it's free and they'll ship the catalog to your door

We have a '68
