PARTS LIST REVISION SERVICE
GENERAL
Subscribers to the MoPar Passenger Car Parts List Revision Service will be provided with revision pages on a
scheduled monthly basis. Proper interfiling of the revision pages will insure the subscriber a complete and up-to-date
Parts Book.
Accompanying each mailing of a set of revision pages is a covering letter which outlines the contents of the particular
revision: Group Name, Group Number, and Page Numbers being eliminated, replaced, or added to each revised group.
It is advised that the letter be read carefully to avoid elimination of pages which are still current.
INTERFILING REVISION PAGES
The importance of prompt interfiling of revision pages upon receipt cannot be stressed too greatly.
The initial order for the Revision Service includes a post binder with the best operating mechanism available for
this particular service.
The following method for interfiling revised and new pages has been found to be efficient and time saving and is
recommended for your use:
1. Insert the revised pages loosely in their proper location in the book.
2. Pull the locking trigger and lift the transfer bar with all pages down to the first loose revision sheet which
has been inserted in its proper location.
3. Compare the revised (loose) page with the superseded page, noting changes.
NOTE: If you use the revised pages as part of your parts record-keeping system, note the changes in the revised
(loose) page and post accordingly.
4. Remove superseded page.
5. Place revised page on post of transfer bar.
6. Replace transfer bar with all pages in place on bottom post.
7. Re-lock cover and your book is current and accurate.
