Please, buy the book.
Please, buy the Helms Shop Manual and the AIM for your specific car. Throw the vague Chilton's and Haynes in the fireplace. If you are going to work on your car, get the book the Dealership used. Best investment you will ever make.

I agree that people need to get a shop manual if they intend to work on their own cars. If nothing else, they may get to see just how many of the mysteries on a C3 are absolutely *-NOT-* Corvette related. Things like Front End on a C3 are standard GM issue of the era.
Electrical systems/ stater, alternator and battery circuit diagnosis are standard issue.
*-But-* when the Standard Issue stuff is not enough,
and you get a 
look on your face, then you need a shop manual. That way, you will be

Helm is my main book for reference on any job I do that I'm not sure of the proper procedure. However, I back this up with the other referred to manuals and "how to" articles from the various Vette magazines.

Google Trunk Monkey. You'll find it. A great series of commercials.
