Default buying a helms manual.....but some questions first

i am in the middle of a b16 swap with my rex and have decided its time to break down and buy a helms. two questions:

1) should i buy the manual for the 91 rex? or for the b16? if the b16, what model/year car would i want (that has a b16 or equiv)?

2) where's the best/cheapest place to buy a helms at?

thankyou!

When i did my swap i coughed it up for BOTH the 92 Civic manual and the 97 Integra Manual. Yes it was expensive but i have never regretted it.

Get both.

ok so the only thing i need to know now is what car would represent my B16A1? (since its JDM, what is the US car equivilent?) also, i look under crx and see that they have a "shop manual" for $60 and an "electrical troubleshooting manual" for $35. would the $60 one include the contents of the $35 one?
thankyou for the replies everyone!

There isn't a Helms for the B16a1.

You have to search the net for the info you seek.

del Sol B16a3 doesn't have the vaccum lines and other weird pre-OBD stuff in it....

If you plan to rebuild the B16a the get the del Sol as well, but not worth it for the swap.
