I got a Chiltons manual for 68-70 chargers on Ebay. NOS. Has all the things you are asking about. Also I have a Haynes manual for my engine.
I can get you the Catalog number, ISBN and all that if you like?

Get ready to fork it out. Amazon.com and Ebay usually has them but it won't be cheap. At least $70 for a Chilton's.

Wow..I only paid about $35 for mine - that was on Ebay UK - maybe not everyone knew its value...

I paid $25 for my Chiltons. I never look at it though. All of the tech stuff is taken from the factory service manual. In my garage those factory manuals get more use than anything else. Followed up closely by this website.

I would probably have to agree with Jim. Even though I have never seen a Chilton's Charger manual I don't think anything would be much better than the factory repair manual. And those are cheaper. I paid $50 for mine.

i will agree.....i just find it sooooo hard to understand why getting certain things for these cars are sooo hard...being as popular as they are.....lets face it...2nd gen chargers are a hot item...always have been but with the Dukes movie and the "hey that thing got a hemi" comercials.....youd figure there would be vendors comming out of the woodwork making stuff for these cars....

The best refrence book will be a FSM (factory service manual)

You can buy them repro or find nice originals on ebay all day long.

A Chilton's manual is nice to display at a show I guess
