I bought an Interchange manual about 6 months ago. I don't remember the
name of the publisher (and unfortunately it is packed to move), but I think
I got it from Motorbooks International, and I do think that it was
published in Las Vegas, NV. It will work, and has quite a lot of
information, but if I had to do it all over again, I would look for a
Hollander rather than buy the one I have. There was a thread about this a
few months back, and I think Bob Adler has had experience with both of
these. What's your call Bob?
