Not positive, but I think they are very similar, if you don't find an '84 version.

There were no changes between the '84 and '85 cars. You should have no problems with the '85 manual.

it sure would be nice if someone that had the program to make acrobat reader files took all the parts of that manual and made into one big file hint hint nudge nudge

Actually, if I ever get freetime, I'm going to OCR the whole thing, replace the images with vector files and offer it as a 20 M download.

The replacement will probably go in chunks though - first text (with typos) with raster graphics (70 or 80 M download?) then corrections, then graphic replacement.

Don't look for this anytime soon, but know that it's a side project that I am actually working on.

Hell, a page a day average would give me good progress before too long - and if I chose to type the whole thing over, I'd probably be alone in being able to say that I'd read the entire FSM from cover to cover

The FSM as it exists now contains no text - only low resolution images. Therefore, nothing to copy/paste
