Too many acronyms on the forum. I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it means forensic service manual.

Search on e-bay for the 75 you will have to get the 74 and a supplement for the 75 I have about 40 bucks tied up in the two well worth the money they cover Camaro Nova and Corvette, and maybe another model

The correct title for that manual is the "Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual"; and you do need that and the A.I.M. (Assembly Instruction Manual used on the final assembly line).

You can buy both the AIM and Service Manual (which includes the overhaul manual and Fisher body manual) on CD. I have both paper and CD versions.

The nice thing about the CD is that you can search on key words, blow up illustrations and print out select pages to take to the garage and get all greasy and torn instead of your book. Magnifying those illustrations to something you can actually read is nice too.
