    I found a Chilton's 1970 Maverick only manual. No Comets no V-8's. It's a red hardback edition and I got it for $7 at a bookstore. Anyone ever seen one?

    I bought one back in 72. Still got it. Good wiring diagrams in the back. I see them at Carlisle and ebay every now and then.

    I found a 5 book factory set for 1977 on ebay for about $25. Definitely shop worn, but I'll take the factory stuff anyday.
