Default Shop Manual Needed

Looking to purchase a service/repair manual for my ’69 big block convertible. First thing I’m working on is troubleshooting and repair of the vacuum system issues with my wipers. I’ve had it a week so just getting started fixing things. Can anyone recommend a good manual for me?

Most Corvette vendors sell shop manuals on a cd. I got mine from Paragon.

You should also look for a booklet on how to diagnose and repair vacuum systems. Many of the Corvette parts suppliers carry them. Very informative and they detail how you can use simple techniques to diagnose problems in any vacuum system. Once you find the problems, solutions are SIMPLE: fix leaking hoses/devices or replace damaged components.
