Need a Manual?

The ERA Equipment Manual Library is online and ready to help you.

Manuals are available for the most popular equipment used in electrical rebuilding, with an emphasis on older equipment that may have been acquired without an owner's manual.

So, if you don't have a manual, or if yours is dog-eared and unreadable, check out the Equipment Manual Library

Prestolite Electric Co. has generously allowed the ERA to present the classic Prestolite Parts and Service manuals online!

• Prestolite Parts List and Application Data Manual (OE-92)
• Prestolite Service Manual (L600)
• Application Guide, OE Cross Reference
