Default Any recommendations on where to get a shop manual for a '72

I'd like to get a bound copy as well as a copy on CD/DVD (assuming I can do full text searches).

Thanks,

steve

A bound copy should be easy to find on Ebay. I'm not sure about a CD/DVD version though. I don't recall seeing those.

Ecklers and MidAmerica have it. I've never seen one on cd.

I have both of them, since my car is no longer even close to stock, they are for sale.....

:yesnod: I found an original GM print for my '75 for $4.50 shipped(well, actually for a '74, they only had a supplement for '75 cause the cars were so similar). I also have a reprint that cost around $80 :eek: Not nearly as good as the original :chevy

I was just in Vette Products of Michigan 2 days ago picking up a seat buckle for my '70 and they had shop manuals for just about all years (including '72, if I remember correctly). They're located in Clarkston, MI but I think they have a website with their number listed if you want to call them.
