Ken--

Congratulations.  The Graduate is a great car.  If you take care of 
it properly, it will last you a lifetime.  The 4 cylinder cars are 
pretty bulletproof, and most parts can be had for a reasonable price. 
When I bought my 89 Graduate, I ordered through International Auto 
Parts the original Owners manual, and an Alfa Shop manual.  Among the 
Alfa books that I have in my library is Pat Braden's Alfa Bible.  All 
of these have maintenance schedules in them.

Best of luck.
