V-6 repair manual

Does anyone know where I can get a repair manual strictly for Camaros with 6's? I have a Hayne's and Chilton's, and they seem to focus mainly on the 8's.

If it matters, mine's a 86, 2.8 obviously.

Best buy I ever made regarding a book. 7 years ago, I paid $60 for mine, I think they're up to $80 now.

Go to the swap mets.
I got mine at the Long Beach one for $40.
I know the guy will not be there tomorrow, as it will be raining, too.
Pomona is very soon, too.
There is another Long Beach end of this month.
I'm still searching for an owners manual for under $20!
I finally scored the shop manual, took many visits, but worth it! The guy even accepted my check!! So cool!
Oh, this book is very thick and detailed. Unfortunatly, it only deals in the Firebird, that's why it costs so much. A Camaro one would help, too. If you need special, certain section, I may be able to help ya.
Email me.

You can also check eBay. I got an almost like new 1985 Helm manual there a year ago for $15 (plus shipping etc.).

i wish i could afford the helms manual. when i was trying to find info on my digital EGR i found a book at work that was the same as the helms but it covered all GM engines from like 90-93. it was GREAT. it had unbelievable info.....exploded views, even failure symptoms. best manual by far.
if you got the cash, BUY IT.
