I disagree on the Haynes--they actually have pretty good breakdowns, pictures,
and schematics covering most aspects of Spridget work. When I got my first
Sprite, I used the Haynes (almost) exclusively to rebuild the engine--something
I had never done before. But it is excellent to have a reference library of
more than just one source--one will have stuff the other doesn't.
