Repair Manual Recommendations for '90 ZR1

[90redZR1]

Hello,

I am looking for your recommendations on what manuals are available and where I can currently find them. Is the Haynes worth having, especially since it says right on it that the ZR1 is not covered? Mid-America is offering two volumes, I am not sure if this set has everything needed; I have not contacted them since these are shown to be unavailable at this time.

Thanks in advance.

I bought the factory service manual and the 2 supplements for @ $80 (2-used and 1-new) on ebay. And I used them alot already and I just bought my car in May. You can also get a new complete set for @$125 (can't remember exact price). I would go w/ the FSM over anything else, but that's JMO. I could dig up the links if you're interested.:cheers:

i have a haynes I'm not using that i was just going to post for sale. if you want it let me know.

Definitely Factory Service Manual set (try Corvette America?) Regardless of how you get them or what you pay, they are an essential first step and invaluable for the future. For Confirmation you wouldnt study the word of God using Reader's Digest (Hayne's) would you?

Hello,

Is the Haynes worth having,

NEGATIVE WRT the Haynes Manual.

Buy the Red-Bound FSM for the 1990 Model Year and 1990-1993 RPO LT5 Service Manual Supplement - You'll find them readilly available on ebay.

The two factory service manuals or FSMs is what you really need the red books

Not using it because you have two - or not using it because it's not very useful?

Not using it because you have two - or not using it because it's not much help?

bought it for a 91 l98 I had, totaled that, bought the ZR-1 and got the FSM's for it. never used the haynes.

I totally understand why you bought the FSM - and totally understand why you never used the Haynes.

Post that you're looking for a FSM set here in the forum under the Wanted/Forsale section.
Alternatively yes, fleabay.
A used set should be cheaper and has the same info.
They'll get dirtied up anyway so who cares that they're used.

^^^ I got an extra one of those myself, but it is a supplement to the regular FSM at best. a nice quick reference.

I wonder how hard or even possible it would be to get
permission to copy and make available to all paid members
the content of all FSMs?
It would be value added to the membership and possibly
increase the roles of paid members.
Maybe a slice of the paid membership could go to GM
each year for the right to post.
Dunno... just an early morning brain fart with plenty of coffee.

Maybe the new BOD could pursue this?
Sure would make threads about fixes "more better" ;)

I have the printed copy of the 90 Corvette service manual as well as the supplement. Recently I also received a PDF copy of the 90 service manual, very high quality and professionally done with bookmarks.

I have to believe this is a GM product but I could be wrong. I can't recall who provided this copy either. It is quite large 81+MB
