Best Repair Manual?
 

I am sure there are 1001 posts on what manual is the best for working on Corvettes but the search feature is still not working so....
What is the best repair manual for a 1990 Coupe and where is the best place to get one? Thanx!

Helms prints the "factory" manual. Their name is even in your owners manual. Go here: http://www.helminc.com

RACE ON!!!

The Chiltons is nice, better than the Haynes anyways. Chiltons you can get at Checkers and Haynes you can get from Autozone. I have both because some info is not in one or the other.

The next step would be the service manual from GM. You can buy these from, you guessed it, GM. However, they do take for granted you own a shop.

I bought a Hayes 2 yrs ago, wish I bought a Helms. Hayes is too general.

I just bought my manual from Helms a couple weeks ago and I'm already reaping the benefits! :thumbs:

Helms is the best, though for the older C4's, the schematics are now in black & white (the originals were in color). Alldata, http://www.alldata.com is an online source for a fee that includes all the Tech Bulletins. It's probably worth it for the Bulletins, but the Tech info seems to be a hodgepodge of misinformation (so after you download and print all the Bulletins, you might as well let the subscription lapse). If you have a friend at a dealership and a really good scanner (like a Tech 1), see if you can scam some Mitchell software to go with it (my neighbor is a distributor). Amazing stuff the one or two times I've been able to use it.
