Where is the best place to obtain a Factory Service Manual for a "94 Vert, LT1? I looked at the sight in the forum and they are asking $129.00 plus shipping. Is that what they go for? Any place cheaper?

You can check the C4 Parts for Sale section, eBay or the place I got mine from: www.factoryautomanuals.com. I just checked and they have the 1994 two book set for $100:

Good suggestion, but a lot of changes from 92 to 94. I got my 2 vol set either here or ebay for about $75. Post a parts wanted here and watch ebay. $129 just seems too high.

129.00 may seem a little high, but consider what a single part might go for. This will be a invaluable reference. I spent twice that, but it payed for itself after one repair job. If you see what you want on ebay don't be afraid to overpay. If you loose the auction it may be a while for another one comes up.

With shop rates at $80-$90/hr the FSM will pay for itself many times over and you will have the pleasure of doing the work yourself...

eh... I would just wait and find them at a more reasonable price then 129$ and if you have any questions until you do find a set just research the forum or post a thread with the problems your having..... there really isnt to much you can post here and not get a ton of solutions or walkthroughs for in a hurry..... but if you have an additional 70 bucks or so to throw away go ahead and rush and by them without waiting to find a decent deal on a set....

I honestly can't remember which used books site I hit up, but a quick search and found my FSM, still in the blue binder, for $50 shipped.
