Default Best source for manuals.
Hey guys, so o finally got my 79 home so I'm getting excited about getting work. My biggest question right now is where is the best place to reprints of the factory service manual. I will also be looking for stuff like assembly manuals and eventually an owner's manual. Thanks!

I bought a reprint of the A.I.M. from Corvette Central. Other vendors have them as well. I got the shop manual from Ebay.

You can find manuals almost everywhere, including here, eBay, and the major aftermarket vendors.

Before helping you, some on this forum will insist on photos of your car.

I got my original 79 shop manual from eBay. The rest I got as reprints from various Corvette vendors, and RockAuto.

Howdy,
You just as well sell that fishing boat, if you are going to restore a Vette.
