Summary: Not for the advanced repair work
Comment: I bought this book for Conquest repairs and I also did not find it to be the best companion. It included a lot of info on the Colt and Challenger and I believe the Conquest info belonged more of on it's own do the the vast differences in these cars. I bought it to rebuild the engine and found it fell short and left me looking elsewhere for more detailed info. If your buying it for the Colt or Challenger, I give it a 4. If you want the Conquest/Starion aspect, look to what the mechanics use and get a factory shop manual. much more detail.

Summary: Decent basics book
Comment: I've found it very difficult to find Chrysler Conquest repair manuals. This was the first manual I found, so I bought it. I've bought Haynes manuals before, but one was not available for the Conquest. Haynes contains detailed photos of all the steps involved in a repair. Chilton relies more on "exploded view" illustrations without actually showing many of the repair steps. However, basic repairs like brakes, trim/bodywork, coolant system tasks, alternator replacement, and minor headwork is described and photographed well. Unusual repairs lack the same detail. For example, replacing a steering box is described in a curt, 7 step paragraph. An archaic looking pen and ink illustration of the steering system, not of the repair steps or even an exploded view, accompanies the description. As this is one of the repairs I wanted to make, I got a Chrysler factory manual. I found that many of the Chilton illustrations are in fact Chrysler illustrations. However, Chrysler adds numerous other illustrations (in clear pen and ink) showing every step (and the tools!) necessary to complete a repair. If you have a Colt or a Vista, I would recommend the Haynes manual. If you have a Conquest and are looking to do a lot of work on it, get a factory manual. But if you want to do normal maintenance (aforementioned brakes, trim, etc.) on a Conquest, or need electrical diagrams for the car, this book is sufficient.
