Well I'm not at all disappointed I bought it.  Way better than the Haynes manual I've been working from.  The detailed diagrams of the emissions and electrical systems are worth it just by themselves.  I now know how the HAC works!

When I was blathering about cams earlier I mentioned that I thought the specs would be in the FSM and was surprised they were so hard to find.  If you said they weren't then I missed that.  Not really blaming you man, just flinging poo to stir things up.  I've seen factory cam specs on the web but where did they come from?  How do we know they're accurate?  The fact that one source I saw showed the carb and EFI cams having basically the opposite specs of each other for the intake and exhaust lobes has me wondering.  That's why I was hoping the FSM would have that stuff in it as Toyota would be the ultimate authority on this stuff.  The GM service manuals from the late 60s and early '70s that I have contain much more information about the various cams including duration, lobe positions, and lift so I was kind of thinking Toyota would do the same thing.

Oh well, hope you're having a good weekend!
