Best source for '90 factory sevice manual - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

mlipmd · 05-05-2021

New member on here -This will be my 3rd 'vette but my other 2 were C5s on which I did most of the work, getting info off the Corvette Forum and internet.
There is nobody around where I live with ZR1 or LT5 experience so I'd like to gain as much knowledge about these cars if I need it, and be able to communicate with my trusted local mechanic who would maybe be involved. I doubt the local Corvette dealership, even though it's Dale Earnhardt, has a clue about these cars. Can anyone lead me to the beast source for a '90 FSM, digital or printed is OK but printed preferred.

Thanks.

Congratulations and welcome aboard

IIRC, I bought mine on the auction site. There are two volumes for the 1990 FSM and there is an additional LT5 supplement manual.

Helm is the supplier to the OEMs.

I also bought mine (1991) from eBay. Nice Canadian dude, fair price. It's a reprint but you can't tell any difference from an original other than it's brand new. Came in the original binder, including the LT-5 and electrical analysis supplements and was even wrapped in heat shrink plastic.
Paid around 105 $ Canadian which is more than fair. Worth every buck, wouldn't want to live without...

I think I might have one strangely enough. I will look later today to see.

Hi

I am a recent zr-1 owner and I am looking for a digital version of the FSM.

There are at least two brands of manuals out there as far as I can tell.

One published by David Graham, this seems to have the base FSM, the 8A electrical supplement but no LT5 supplement. Is that correct ?

There is one published by Bishko. I cant find any detailed content information on this one ?

Does anyone have a recommendation on which one to acquire?

Welcome!

Got mine on eBay for $90 a couple of years back, including the electrical supplement. Engine supplement came with the car, lucked out there I guess.

Ebay

I got one off eBay, a copy of the original, real fast shipping - received it 2 days after ordering. Big and heavy 2 volume set, a little disappointing as I can't even find a schematic about vacuum line routing or anything about the HVAC vacuum programmer. I guess I'll have to search through it a little more but there's always these forums and YouTube when you really need to know something.
