Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (4)
  • Manual is 1966; row spans 1962-68. OCR of the 200 engine fitment is garbled (the 3.03 text also mentions 200).
  • 1966 manual, not 1960; the 1960 base engine was the 144 six, which the manual does not cover. Treat as likely, not confirmed.
  • 1966 manual, not 1961; treat as likely, not confirmed.
  • Manual is 1966; row spans 1960-69.
