The ones for a specific vehicle. Almost all the electrical, most of the
suspension, any alignment specs just aren't there. And I was burned very
badly once following a Haynes manual to put a timing belt in a Honda Civic
(they had a bunch of unnessary steps in the wrong order AND the wrong torque
values).And nearly got smoked again doing a head on a Hyundai.With a
Windstar I've had to look to make sure I had the right book - it's that far
off.
