You can buy the spare part manuals from many sources, but that is more for the hard-core guys that really needs paper books (yes, I'm one of them :stressed:).
If you want to have the manuals and don't care if they're digitalized, then go to http://jholst.net/300resource/index.php and download all you need. |

They replaced the external canister filter with an internal fabric filter and stayed with that until the end. Get an internal filter for a '64-'65 and you can eliminate the canister with a piece of straight tubing the correct length. |

Be sure the filter has two holes like the one on the right below, some parts stores think the '66-later will work but it won't.

The readily available DexronIII/Mercon will work just fine. |

I always remove the external filter and go with the internal only. Like I said, the factory did it that way for 40 years. |
