jeromio Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 I'd like to get a factory service manual for the 99 FBody from which my motor was pulled. Can anybody point me to a good source? Really I'd prefer to just get manuals for wiring and engine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Jerimio, I kind of stumbled on this by accident while working at MIC. I worked there almost 4 years before I realized GM's Publishing Dept, was right next door to our office (umm..GM Building-DUH!) for North Texas Region. Anyway...you cant call the HQ in Flint because they hate phone calls as they are extremely busy. But for any & I MEAN [ANY] GM Manual-Service Manual or Frame & Chassis Manual...actually you can obtain just about any manual used to service a GM vehicle that the dealer has. You can write your letter to: Warehouse & Distribution Division of General Motors Corp. 6060 West Bristol Road Flint, Michigan 48554 In your letter you will need to make a request for their form listing the "current & classic" service manuals still available. They usually respond rather quickly (10 days to 3 weeks). You can also ask for a dozen copies of that list (for your friends & such) as it is in their best interest to circulate the list to as many people you can as anyone can buy the books w/out being a GM employee. The best thing is you dont have to go thru the dealer so you can avoid their mark-up on whatever manual you're purchasing....and we all know the fun you've had w/dealers this year. I'm not sure if they have any manuals on the fuel/electrical systems only(?).

DavyZ Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 JTR likes the "Helms" service manuals (not Haynes). Sorry, don't know of a URL. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 JTR has the phone number, but I found one for my '86 Firebird tpi motor by searching internet for Helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locutus Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Popular Mechanics sells a cd made by Alldata I think, but it appears to have factory service manuals on cd. I have not seen other years but for my 1996 Z71 it has been most effective. Especially in those areas other manuals refer you back to the dealer for such as A/C.
