86 Shop Manual Question
I bought a used 86 Vette Shop Manual ST-387-86, it's the one with the blue plastic cover and removable pages. Wondering if anyone else has one and can confirm whether some sections exist or not in your copy.
I have several dividers without pages and don't find them listed in the index:
1A Heating & Ventilation
4c Front Axel
4D Drive Axel
6H Vacuum Pumps
7D Transfer Case
8E Windshield Wiper and Washer System
I would expect to find the first and last ones, but not the others. Can anyone confirm these sections are normally empty?
If they aren't supposed to be blank, would someone be willing to scan their copy for me, I'll provide an email address.
Thanks
Paul

Could account for the items you list as empty as most of those items are not on a Vette

Manual
Thanks VetteOz, I'll have to look for that one then I guess.
This one does list on page 1 header:
=================
ST-387-86
1986
Chevrolet
Corvette
Shop Manual
The loose leaf manual contains procedures for diagnosis, maintenance and adjustments, minor service operations and overhaul procedures for the Corvette.
================
I would have expected to find something on the heater and wipers, the others I agree appear to just be some extra dividers based on labels.
I've bought a couple of similar manuals before on other vehicles from Helms and they were complete. Got this one for a decent price but wondering if I got the whole thing or not.

I have both the red cover and the blue loose leaf binder copies for my '85 so they do both exist, I would guess yours may not have those sections because they do not pertain to your car. I'll check my blue one & see if it is the same.
