I'm looking for the latest, greatest A65/A75 overhaul/repair manual. Aircraft Spruce and other suppliers sell about 6 different versions which command a price of anywhere between $14/ea and $90 ea.

Presumably, one of them is the latest/greatest. (And I recognize that the latest, greatest may be pretty old).

Anyway, which manual should I buy? Here's what's available at Spruce:

Description Part No. Price
CONTINENTAL A-65 OVHL/MAINT/PT #A-A40 $14.50
CONT OVERHAUL MANUAL # X30010 $92.00
CONT. PARTS CATALOG X30011A $69.50
CONT OVERHAUL MANUAL # X30013 $92.00
CONT. PART CATALOG (BK) X30014 $61.95
CONT OVHL MANUAL # X30016 $89.95
CONT ENG O/H & PART MAN X30017 $62.00
CONT O/H PARTS MAN A65 A75 X30008 $89.50

Thanks in advance,

Kyle

Which one has the most recent publication date? The latest dated publication should incorporate all the pertient poop and have all the old campfire tales deleted.

Per TCM website X30008 is the most current manual
