The chilton is too general. What you want is the 2-volume red cover Factory Service Manual specifically for your year of C4.

I prefer the books myself, but here's a CD example.

Hard copy OEM manuals work for me. The CD is a pain in the neck to use. You can flip back and forth faster, especially if you're troubleshooting electrical.
Aftermarket doesn't have all the specifics.

I disagree that the CD is hard to use. It has a PDF, and you can just toss those PDFs onto your phone or whatever and have it with you wherever you go, which is awesome.

I got mine from RockAuto, was only $25 or so. Well worth having. Agreed with others, don't buy Chiltons or anything like that. Just get the GM factory service manuals.
