Bentley from Bentley publishing hands down ..

i use the haynes to jamb under the door so i dont get grease on the handle going in and out of the garage to the laundry room

What year 911? For the SC and 3.2 carrera, the Bentley is awesome. The haynes looks more like it geared for an earlier car.

Sorry... For 84-89
Yeah the Haynes looks pretty sorry now that I just had a chance to flip thru it at the book store

For 84-89, Bentley all the way. I hear the factory manuals are great but I have never had the chance to look at them.

Bentley manual or better yet, the factory ones which are very very good, but damned expensive.

A buddy gave me his factory manuals when I first got my p-car - little did I know at the time how generous this was. I find Bentley's to be a bit easier to use. I consult Bentley's and the factory manuals every time I undertake a project, and have not been lead astray or missed critical steps from Bentley's. I need to buy another copy, though, as mine is falling apart.

I used the combination of both for many years to good success. Sold the factory manuals at the local swap meet last year for $$$!

I found the factory manuals on Amazon used for about 40% of the retail price in extremely good condition. Look at all your options.

I love using Bentley manuals for other cars I have, but it doesn't look like there's one available for a '77 911. Is the SC a different enough car to render the SC Bentley manual useless for me?

Thanks!

There is enough crossover to make it worth your while, IMO.

Yup. The Bentley manuals are more concise than the factory manuals, which are very good but still leave gaps.
