Excellent Reference Material
This is the Corvette section of Chevy Power, Rev.5. It is just a hair less than 8MB and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or equiv. to view it.
Direct link to the article - http://www.bokonon.net/corvettefaq/c3/ChevyPower.pdf
The web page that it is hosted on - http://www.bokonon.net/corvettefaq
My best guess is that Power book revision #5 was printed in '83. They still had a pile of C3 stuff and were JUST starting to include C4 material.
This file is brought to you through the efforts of four people -
Stingy74, supplier of the printed material, me (45ACP) scanner of said material, a pal of mine who converted the scans to .pdf, and Terry Rudy, who is kind enough to host it.

If you guys havne't seen this yet, you're missing out. I just apologize that my server connection ain't that fast, so may take awhile to download. But is WORTH IT.

Re: Excellent Reference Material (45ACP)
I still have my original book from back then. It is a damn good resource. The exploded view of the chassis is very educational in itself for someone that want's to see how it all works. How about that section for Cosworth Vega motors? Pretty cool stuff. It almost makes you want to build an old Monza or Vega. Can you say Sleeper?

Someone called me a Retard last night! But anyway I couldn't figure out how to download the *.pdf for future reading. I just wish they would have written the article about real C-3's you know the kind with a round rear window.

Hey George, if you want to save as a .pdf just right-click on the link in the message above and select "Save Target..." and save it to your hard drive. Then you can open it later after its done downloading.

Re: Excellent Reference Material (45ACP)
Let me TTT this thread again...
I haven't really read the stuff yet, but the diagrams are great (will make lots of copies and leave them in the garage, car, office...), and one thing I really loved is the following: it has lists of all the bolts/nuts/etc of the suspension, with the corresponding sizes (as opposed to the AIM that only has the part numbers). Now when I do my front end rebuild I can go ahead and order all the hardware in advance from http://www.mcmaster.com instead of running a thousand times to bad supplied hardware stores or paying lots of $$$ to the Corvette vendors. :cool:
