Factory manual all the way.
But, if you are going to use Haynes/Chiltons, it is best to have both. I have often found info in one that wasn't in the other, and vice versa.

Re: Chilton's or Haynes
To me, for my 88 T/A the Chiltons is better. The Haynes is kinda like a owners manual. I have to jump on the service manual opinion also. Just get a digital copy and put it on a lap top and use it anywhere.

Re: Chilton's or Haynes
Just get a factory service manual for your year and model, nothing comes close. I got one for my 90 Camaro on ebay for 20 bucks shipped. Just search for your year and model CSM (chassis service manual), example for mine was 1990 Camaro CSM.
x 1 million. Used the Haynes & Chilton manuals for a few years. Once I bought the factory manual, I haven't opened up the other two since. I honestly forgot where they are in the garage, and I really don't care.
