Not aware of any "free" manuals. You might try eBay or Amazon...

If you just want 'basic' information, a Chilton's manual is OK. If you want good, detailed information about all the systems in your car, nothing will replace the Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual.

This is the only "free" manual I have seen. The Chevy manual will cost you $30.

The manuals (GM Shop Manual & AIM) are some of the best money you'll ever spend

I agree! Well worth the money to keep your car in your own garage not at the shop.

If you can find the GM shop manual for $30 you're getting a good deal. Best I could find was $50 for mine.

Hi qw,
I believe the model year has an effect on the price.
The NCRS store sells the 66-72 CSM for $25.

Alan

I think some years have their own manuals. All I've seen for 73 is 66 thru 82. Does anyone know if their are individual manuals for all years?

If you search hard enough you will find them. I got the GM service manuals for both my 73 and the 64. They are out there.

I have several books on Sookie (my 72) I seem to remember in the past some one posted a link to a collage website that had books on most makes and models. I was trying to fix my buddies car. But thank you all for the good links and the advice.

Hi f,
I have both the Chassis Service Manual and Shop Manual.
The Shop Manual seems to have sections taken from the CSM.
I really only use the CSM.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks A,
So even though the Service Manual has info for other Chevys beside Corvette it is more comprehensive then the 66-82 Corvette Shop Manual?

If you go here:
https://elibrary.mel.org/validate?ur...ch%3Fdb%3DCHLL
and type a letter and 12 digits, you can get read most Chilton manuals.
