Helm, Inc. is the ONLY manufacturer of FACTORY service manuals for our cars. I believe when I checked with them last my '89 was not available bound, but they said they print me a loose leaf copy of the original. It was high just like the bound ones so I opted to wait and find a bound one in good shape. I paid for it all the way from Australia.

Good deal , how much ? I saw two on there, one of which was pretty well used. They were about 80-100 new. I paid two hundred for the one I got from down under with shipping but it was like new. Still, pretty stiff price I know...good luck. First time I have seen one on ebay in two years ?

I agree, from what I have heard there is a supplement for the '89 year. I heard it was for the TTA only and have also heard it is a an electrical supplement for all '89 Birds, have you heard of this ?

I know you can get 2 diffrent ones on the website one which sais for the TTA and the other just for the Firebird. but not sure about the electrical thing. Well they charge me more for shipping to Switzerland then the manual itself costs, so I'm glad to have found a "real" one
