[V8] OCR'd manuals - first pass

[Karl Middlebrooks]

I've always been irritated by the Bentley for the V8, and someone's selling PDF manuals for the V8 on ebay, which is fine, but they're not searchable. I've been too ill to do much else this week out here in the Texas desert, so...

I OCR'd the manuals into an MS Word document, which worked pretty well. In particular, the OCR on the text of the manuals was really good (page footer OCR was good, but fonts are wacky). The drawings frequently end up out of place, which I'll have to correct manually with some software that does a better job of absolute image placement.

Anyway, for those of you who might want a searchable, electronic version of the V8 manuals, you can pick up my initial pass at:

All the repair groups are in a single doc, which people may or may not like. Next pass, I may try and break them down by the individual repair groups.
