Info wanted @ Popular Mechanics CD by AllData
They have it at AutoZone for $19.95 and I want to know if it has the same automotive and carburetor info as the Haynes manuals for those years.
Specifically the Haynes Rochester carburetor rebuilding information and is it the same as the Firebird manuals ? Better ?
I know it covers all cars for the year specified but wonder how detailed it gets ?

I bought the CD several months ago. IMO it is not worth the money. It has basically the same info as your average Haynes manual, but the way the CD is set up, it is very time consuming to access the particular info you want to see. It is no more complete than a Haynes manual, and so since it takes a lot more time to use, I just wrote it off as a worthless piece of equipment.

It's not worth much. The maechanics at work tried it to see what it would say about a drivability problem and it suggested parking the car in the garage out of the rain.
