Workshop Manuals?

Hi everyone, Does anyone know a good place where I can download workshop manuals or even the original owner’s manual for my ’88 RS? I’ve been searching around but haven’t had much luck finding a reliable source.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Austin Thirdgen - 82-92 Camaro and Firebird Information

On the left hand side down toward the bottom they have the 1988 Firebird and 1989 & 1991 Camaro factory service manuals.

Re: Workshop Manuals?

Go to ebay and find a used copy of the factory (Helms) shop manual; there are several for sale there right now.

Don't settle for anything else.

Re: Workshop Manuals?

Helm no longer sells the service manual (of course) & ebay copies for used (tore up, greasy fingerprints, spilled on and even a couple cigarette burns) go for way too much in most cases IMO. Rock Auto has new reprints of the old Helm dead tree editions, both from Dave Graham and Detroit Iron (Body & Chassis) for around $37, and the electrical supplement for $16. so for ~50 bucks + shipping (bleh), you got the whole set if you want paper.
