Someone posted the 1600/1700 Bird along time ago and I downloaded a copy.

| | Posted : 28 Oct 2015 - 17:51 Post title : Re: Service manual (Re: Hornet) | | | I think you'll find that 99% of the things in your current SM will also apply to your new Commander.Everything is basically the same other then the engine bore of the 1700 verses the 1600.When I was entertaining the thought of replacing my current SE with the LT model,I compared parts and specs,and like I said,the only major difference I could see between the two machines was the bore.

FYI, I didn't have that little ole 1600 before, I had a 1700.

| | Posted : 28 Oct 2015 - 19:54 Post title : Re: Service manual (Re: Linkdog) | | | Recently I was looking at a parts fische for the same model TBird ,only a couple years newer,and the part numbers listed were different.But that doesn't necessarily mean the part itself is different.But I do understand where you're comin from.Better to be safe than sorry!!  But getting back to the SM,even though the SM you have is for an older year and or model Tbird,it still should be helpfull regarding assembly and torque specs for a later model Tbird.Follow me? That's why I said the older SM can still be helpfull when working on the newer Tbird. Now "IF" I were to go out tomorrow and buy a brandy new 2015 or 2016 LT,I would still refer to my 2010 SM because there will be many things in it that are the same,especially on reassembly and torque specs.Do you understand what I'm TRYING  to say??? But if I discovered that everything was different between the older model and the newer model,THEN,I would have to buy a new SM for that specific model.

I wouldn't say that. Maybe a pretty high % but probably not real close to 99, as the commander and LT models have an entirely different frames and exhaust and likely many of the related components. Engine alone....probably close to 99%.

| | Posted : 29 Oct 2015 - 01:09 Post title : Re: Service manual (Re: Hornet) | | | My point was that the SM,which was the topic of this post,could be very use full,even if it doesn't pertain to the newer or redesigned model of the same machine.Regarding parts,it has also been my experience that many of the parts from an older model machine, were interchangeable with the newer model of the same machine.And that's all I was tryin to point out. Ca pishe??? I probably worded my original response incorrectly.Remember???? I'm not that bright!
