Should I get an 88 or 91/92 shop manual for my 88 iroc?

I'm converting from MAF to SD which the later cars have. Are there another major differences? Which would you buy?

Thanks

If you are converting, the manual for the SD ('91-'92) car will reflect the fuel and management system more accurately, but the rest of the car could have differences. Any chance of getting both?

If it were me personally and I only had enough money for one or the other, I'd get the 91-92. The more accurate engine-related stuff would be more useful than most chassis-related material. I could live with say a brake drum schematic being a little off better than I could live with a wiring diagram being a "little off".

But Vader's right. Try to get both.

Thanks for your replies. I was thinking that a 91/ 92 manual would be better. The only difference between the later model cars and mine I think is the speedo/gauges, grouds effects and spoiler and 2 cats. I think engine, tranny, wireing, chassis andd suspension is the same.
I'll see what prices I get although it'll cost a few beer vouchers getting it shipped across the pond as those manuals look quite heavy.

Thanks

Ended up getting the 88 shop manual $19 on Ebay. It should provide a few nights bedtime reading.
