Default ***1982 Assembly Guide Needed***

Looking to see if anyone has a GM Corvette Assembly Guide for a 1982 they could email me. If so please IM me and I will send you my email address.

Thanks

Do you mean the AIM? To be honest most guys here will donate page or two for a specific problem but for the whole thing you should really just invest in it like we all did. Wilcox, the vendor here, has the AIMs for all C3s on CD that they will mail you. It's a PDF format and it's very much improved over the paper version. I highly recommend you spend the small amount for one.

If you can't spend $30 or so for a manual you should probably re-think owning a C3. The AIM is one of the best investments you can make in your car. I have seen these threads come up occasionally and the original poster usually ends up getting lots of negative comments. You might just want to buy an AIM and delete this thread to save yourself some embarassment.

I have an '82 Shop manual and it's an inch thick book. I have an '82 Assembly Manual, but that's TWO inches thick.

I'll help you out with a specific problem but scanning the whole lot will well and truly suck my will to live

LOL, the last thing I want to do is "suck your wil to live", haha. I will go ahead and buy it because I am sure I will need to refer to it many more times through out my restoration. Thanks though.

Yes, you'll use it many times - well worth the money

The entire AIM would probably exceed email size limits. Order a hard copy from any of the Corvette vendors. The best deals come with a three ring binder to put it in.

Order an '82 owner's manual if you don't have an original.
