Would the 'original factory manual' be much better than the Chilton version?

By now I'm pretty convinced that's the way to go. Much more
specific. I'm in the process of trying to order one from MarineEngine.com,
but they want more info about the engine than I've been able to give
them. Most manuals cover a variety of not only models but hps and
years. For this one they want to know not only that it's a 1979 115hp
model # 11599R, but they want to know what kind of 1979 115hp
model # 11599R it is. I told them the serial # is J0005155, but that's
not good enough. They're now waiting for me to give them the rest
of the info, which I don't know exactly what it is--an even more
specific model # I believe--before they send a manual. I can't find
any more numbers on the motor itself, so as yet I still don't know what
to do.
