For my 89. In pretty good shape. $47 and free shipping on fleabay, which I think is a good price. My question is, aren't there supposed to be two volumes? I've seen discussions about this and thought there were two.

The C4 FSM is supposed to be a two manual set.

I thought so, but there's no indication that this is part one of a two volume set. How do I get the other volume?

It could be that the '89 FSM is only a single volume. Most were two book sets. Is this book something like 1-1/2" thick??

Yes, it is about 1 1/2" thick. I haven't had a chance to peruse it to see if everything is covered.

See if there's a section 8A with wiring schematics. If there is you're all set. Check the Index in section 8. Does it mention see book 2 for anything?

There's a crap ton of schematics in section 8A. No mention of book 2. Guess I'm good.
