No, there are three others for the Corvette in 77. The Unit Overhaul Manual for all cars, trucks and vans, the Wiring Diagram Manual for all cars, and the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual for the Corvette only (large format book).

I have the Unit Overhaul Manual also. I picked that up on Ebay also from the same guy that I got the Service Manual from. I haven't had to use the Unit Overhaul Manual so far but the Service Manual has come in very handy, a must have book.

Found it in a used bookstore for $5.



Here's a really good manual; if you could only get one manual, this is the one to have!

I also had that GM manual when I owned my 77, but...the one I used most was the 1977 Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) it is the same manual the factory line workers used to assemble your Corvette. It's the most helpfull of ALL the manuals.
Available through almost all catalog vendors & E-Bay.

This was the book an auto repair shop would use--it is very detailed. It's just packed with useful data I can find no other place.

For instance, here is the section on the wiper motor. This gives you some idea of the detail this book goes into.
