Covers the Porsche 356-356A-356B-356C series from 1948 through 1965, making it an invaluable resource for collectors and restorers of these classic automobiles. There are separate sections that deal with the repair and overhaul procedures for the engine, ignition system, fuel system, clutch, transmission, rear suspension, steering, front suspension, brakes, shocks, heater and exhaust plus a detailed electrical system section including wiring diagrams. There is a comprehensive chapter on routine service, maintenance and tune ups plus detailed technical specifications and maintenance charts. In addition, there are separate chapters dealing with the three different carburetors fitted to the 356 series - Solex, Zenith and Weber plus a chapter on the Carrera engine and special section on increasing power and performance. This is a - must have - reference for any Porsche 356 enthusiast and would certainly assist in helping any potential purchaser better understand the inner workings prior purchasing of one of these classic automobiles.
