Assembly Instruction Manual.
It's all the instructions and sketches that the Chevy Engineers gave the factory to assemble the car.
About all the parts suppliers have them. Nice to have if you do much work on the car.

Each year has it's own manual. It's a great referance manual. Mid America sell these. Well worth the money if you work on your Corvette

The AIM is my # 1 most used reference material. Couldn't live without out!
Also use the (1973) Chevrolet Service Manual and the 53-82 Chevrolet Dealers Parts and Illustration Catalog on a regular basis. Those 3 books will answer the majority of all C3 parts and repair questions

EBay is the place where most of them show up periodically. Some Vintage Auto dealers also have them. I have seen them from $50.00 to $100.00 usually. They have ALL the GM corvette part numbers, illustrations, etc. This is the book the guy behind the Chevy Parts Counter used when you walked in to order a C3 part from him. Great reference manual; Highly recommend.

A tip for those who use the AIM on a regular basis.
I made a xerox copy of mine (SSHHH, I did it at work
) and keep the original in it's own binder. If I happen to damage or smear grease on a page of the working copy I can replace it. It takes a little bit of time to copy, but worth it to me.

I agree, I paid somebody 10 bucks on ebay to download it. A week later on the forum some guy gave me the link to that site. I was out 10 bucks for the same book I could have had for free. BTW, its a 110mb file! I burned it to CD and printed a copy at work. Grease it up, print another copy.
