WTB: 1954 Manhattan Service Manual
« on: May 23, 2010, 09:01:39 AM »
I'm new to the Kaiser family and I have a 1954 Manhattan. I don't have a clue, sometimes, as to how to repair or get into a repair project. I'm in serious need of a service manual. Anyone have a manual for sale?

There is no service manual as such for the 1954-55 Kaiser Models.  According to Kaiser-Willys Service Bulletin #229 (Preliminary Service Information, all 1954 Kaiser and Willys Passenger Car Models), you need the following:

-     Supercharger Manual (if equipped)
-     1953 Power Steering Manual (if equipped)
-     1951 Kaiser & Frazer Service Manual
-     1952 and 1953 model years Supplement to the 1951 Service Manual
-     1954 Kaiser Parts List (green cover, black lettering)
and the various Service Bulletins issued by Kaiser-Willys for the 1954 models especially #229

HERE COMES THE COMMERCIAL:  Bulletin #229 is one of the items in my service bulletin "grab bag" that is offered for sale along with other duplicate items from my files;  see the June 2010 Monthly Bulletin (going out just after Memorial Day) for more info.

I would really like to thank everyone that has been of help on this Kaiser adventure that I have taken on. I'm finding out that this club is like a big family. It seems like everyone knows each other and who to go to for information. Thank you for the service manual info, I did order a CD with the information I needed.
I'm a new member to the KF club and I haven't received my first newsletter yet but I am looking forward to it.
