Ebay would really be the way to go....the Helm/Pontiac manuals are about $105 new you can usually get 92 (the 3 book set) for anywhere from $50-70

Sounds like my best option. If you could keep an eye out for me, i will look myself and if i come across one i will pm ya and see if it is the real deal (if you dont mind).

Thanks again!

sure no prob

there is book 3 (body) on ebay right now

Just curious, are the ones on CD'* good too? Or are they no good? Like would this have everything you need?

Yes, those will have everything the FSM has.. but what would be easier, proping up a notebook on the fender, or a 10lb book? And if you don't have a notebook, imagine proping up a full size desktop on the fender. Trust me, an FSM is much easier to handle than a CD. You can buy it, but I would suggest an FSM, just because they are easier to handle.

Just a side note [since I never read this post before], Haynes and Chiltons are only good for mechanical stuff. My Haynes has saved me, my front Cylinder Head was held on by one thing, and I couldn't figure out what, and my FSM said nothing of it. Pulled out my Haynes, turned out it was a Compressor Bracket, with a T-50 bolt. It'* good to have both, IMO. My Hayes is worthless for electrical. I wouldn't even bother touching it for electrical stuff.

In this order:

1. Factory manuals from www.helminc.com
2. Chilton'* #28200
3. Haynes
4. Clymer

Haynes is junk compared to Chilton'*, but it does have some alternate methods for some procedures. Think of it as a supplement to Chilton'*.
