Chances are you will not find a manual to download. Also, if the car has been setting for 4 years I would recommend replacing, fuel filter,both ignition coils, spark plugs & wires, and rebuilding the carburetor. I would also, flush the gas tank.

this site doesnt work anymore

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Your dead coil could be a dead ignitor instead. New ignitors are expensive but you can buy them used on eBay. It doesn't hurt to keep a spare with ya too. Here are a couple of auctions:

Good luck!

The sun roof ***** are hard to find because them breaking is a common problem. It's a rather easy fix. Tear it apart and you'll see what I mean. I didn't want to pay victoria britishs prices os I used a little automotive goop and it held for 2 years.
If you happend to have a red interior, I think I still have one laying around.
If the engine has been sitting for four years, soak it a couple days then turn it over a couple times by hand then fire it up. I used a mix of karosene and oil, but I suppose MMO would work also. It helps free up the apex seals. After 4 years there's a fair chance they are frozen.
