Helm's Service Manual

I have an 1987 Coupe but came across a free 1988 Helm's Service Manual. Is there much if anything different from the 87 book? Don't plan on doing any major repairs but want to have a good manual just in case. Thanks Phil

Not much difference

Headlight door motor setup is one that comes to mind, other than that, I can't think of anything major.

It will be fine except for some changes in the wiring diagrams. The engine/diagnostic info will be close.
The mechanical stuff... well, you don't need a manual to loosen bolts.

Still keep an eye out for an 87 manual, you'll have no problem selling that one when the time comes.
