I just got a beautiful '72 Scout II. She ran for about a month, now it
looks like tha alternator may have gone bad. I want to take care of
her myself, so I started looking for a Chilton. I found them ranging
from $84 all the way up some nut who thinks they're going to get
$1,895. Anyone know where I can get a readable copy that didn't cost
more than the Scout? Thanks,

Heather
