Default 1985 electrical manual

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'll ask as well. Is there an electrical troubleshooting shop manual supplement (section 8A) for 1985 corvettes. I see supplement manuals for many years except 1979 and 1985; the two cars I have. If they exist; where can I purchase one? Is the 1986 supplement the same? (Fuel delivery system) Thanks for any help.

1985 needs to be a 1985 FSM, the ECM and much is different 1985 to 1986. Paper EDM (Electrical Diagnostic Manual) in paper surface from time to time. Do you have the 1985 Paper for mechanicals? I sent you a PM.

So that is like it mentioned 'A Supplement' - In your 1985 FSM & EDM how many pages is the EDM that would include I believe in 1985 the 'fold out' wiring diagram as well as diagnostics and diagrams. In a .pdf that I use the EDM is 200+ pages.

from what i gather, the pages in the supplement are just revised pages within the main service manual. most likely someone realized missing info after the manual went to press, thus the need to create the supplement. most likely later printings of the manual were revised to include the missing data (or maybe not). my manual is copywrite 1984. to SSG26K - check your manual, electrical diagnosis, Y-car, page 110 - does it include the hatch fuse diagram? what's your copywrite date? (first page)

i have an original NOS (later printing) of 85 FSM in storage - i check tomorrow if the revised supplemental info is included.

Y-Car 110 in mine is ECM Fuse on a single page. Hatch wiring diagram is Y-Car 232 and includes the fuse block of course. Mine on the cover is 1984. Nothing that remotely looks like a Copyright date. Here's the Alphabetical Circuit Index from Y-CAR 101 which is right after the Introduction.
