I was having a similar discussion on another forum.

The Factory Service Manual for my 1948 DeSoto has every spec I could ever need and is about half as thick as the owners manuals on both our Jeeps and the F150. Both the F-150 and the Renegade have separate manuals to operate the radio.
I have the 'Fact Sheet' for the Motorola 8 tube radio in the DeSoto that is 4 pages and explains all the troubleshooting and repairs. And gives a generic parts list of all the caps, resistors, and tubes.

Other than a timing light, and a tach and dwell meter, the most sophisticated tools you'd need is a Uni-Syn for carb balancing and probably a vacuum gauge. I'm guessing the Midget has the 1275cc engine and the B is a 1600.
