Assembly Instruction Manual.

It is the book the factory used when building a Corvette. Very useful when assembling many parts of a Corvette. Gives building specs on bonding and welding, torque specifications, adhesives/sealants used in specific areas, along with many other important specifications when assembling a Corvette. It also has a wiring diagram. It is NOT a repair/service manual.

Hi 4,
In addition to the A.I.M. that DUB described many people find the GM "Chassis Service Manual" for the year car they're working on very helpful too. This was what the techs at the dealerships used as reference.
Many of the larger vendors sell them.
Regards,
Alan
