Best Fiat books?

Postby MrBlimp » Wed Jun 28, 2017 1:20 pm

What does everyone think are the best books for working on and learning about their Fiat 124 Spider (mine is a 78)?

I have the shop manual and Artigue's "Engine Maintenance and Modification", both of which I have read.

I just bought a used copy of Chilton's FIAT 1969 to 1981 Repair and Tune Up Guide- it looks pretty standard for Chilton style manuals.

I also just bought Artigue's "Maintaining the Italian Roadster" (in both book and Kindle versions - the Kindle version is a complete rip off even at $.99 - total worthless garbage) - I haven't read it yet but a quick flip through the pages looks like it will be as good as his "Engine Maintenance and Modification".

I haven't gotten any history of type books on Fiats yet.

Looking for suggestions, and other people's opinions on the books I already own.

The ever-popular Haynes: 0 900550 94 5 (all numbers are ISBN)
You can also buy reprints of the factory shop manual.
