    I also believe Ludel has a CJ Rebuilders Manual 1972-1986. Assuming its very similar to his 1946-1971 CJ Rebuilders Manual I use for my 70CJ5, it has a lot more detail than the Jeep Bible if you need to get into the internals of diffs, transmissions, TCs, engine etc. The Bible is a great place to start and both the Rebuilders Manual and FSM (factory service manual) make great complimentary items when more specifics are needed.

    As mentioned:
    CJ Rebuilders Manual 1972-1986 - was super helpfull for me
    Jeep Bible - Everyone should own this
    Factory Service Manual
    Factory Parts Manual - the illustrations will help you, and your new best friend at NAPA
    Buba Builds an AMC - this is a must for rebuilding your 304

    And this forum!
