65/66 Restoration Guide Update

With new documentation from the March '66 Truck Master Parts and Accessories Catalog (only sections 100 and above), I decided I needed to update the information in my restoration guide. My goal is to make it as accurate as possible, but I don't claim to be infallible and reading the fine print from a two volume tome like the '68 edition of the Truck MPAC is hard on my old eyes. As hard as I try to find and correct mistakes, there are probably some still lurking in there. I have tried to verify the content against the 1968 revision of the Truck MPAC as I have found the '75 edition to have too many errors and omissions to be a reliable source for restoration purposes. As always, if you find a mistake and have documentation that will allow me to verify your information, I will gladly double your money back.

Sections that have new information include alternators, batteries, dealer A/C, and transistorized ignition. Other information has been deleted if I couldn't find a reliable source for verification.

So if you have a previous version, please delete it and replace it with this one.
