Hi all -
I've been looking for an original second edition '63 OM for my late '63 coupe. I've had an original first edition (signed by Zora and Dr. DickT back in '85!) for years, and it's time to retire it and put a correct OM in the glove box.
I'm aware that there are subtle changes throughout the two editions. I have a second edition now that I'm considering. It has a 40 year old patina that I would expect. There are no references anywhere to "Reprinted by.." or "permission from...". There are no stickers or logos of alternate printers. I think this is the real deal. But one thing bothers me. This seems to be the case with all the charts in the book, so I'll pick on one of them.
Would someone with a known original second edition turn to page 39, the Minor Trouble Shooting Guide. My first edition has a pink section with black lines and text. This second edition has a pink section with red lines and text.
Is this correct for the second edition? Thanks a lot!
Pete
