Help with 526 convertible coupe

I just picked up my new 28 526 which will need some engine work, one dead cylinder. I will put it in the registry, so will not need a reminder from Oz. I have been unable to find very much information about the mechanics of the engine. any idea where to look. I did not see any info in literature and manuals- or could not find it if it was there. My guess is i will have to wing it. thanks for your help. Dell

Dear Dell:

Your best first source is the owner's manual available right here.

Also, there are specialized articles on the vacuum tank and carburetor.

Good luck with your car.

Jon,

Congratulations on the 526. But would I do that? The answer is, Yes! And thanks in advance for being pro-active in regards to the Registry.

Dell, check eBay, they have 4 or 5 books dedicated to your car up for auction right now. Very handy stuff.
