shop manual for PA SC 92

[deadring]

hi,

anyone got a shop manual like a clymer or soemthing for a PA SC 92?

i found one at a store here, a haynes, covers these vehicules and years :

Models covered:
Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac C and H body vehicles (FWD)
Buick - Electra, LeSabre and Park Avenue 1985-2002
Oldsmobile - Delta 88 Royale, Ninety-eight and Regency 1985-2002
Pontiac - Bonneville 1985-2002


**Does not include diesel engine information, supercharger information or rear-wheel drive models.

the last phrase is what i need the most..it doesn.t cover the SC engine..

anyone know if CHILTON makes one that covers the SC engine? or any other manual which covers it for that matter?

I haven't found one yet either. Suppose I could go the dealership route. Let me know if you find something else.

thanks

Jump on eBay and find yourself the GM Factory Service Manual for the 1992 Park Avenue. Probably cost between $10 and $50 depending on if you get an auction with both books, what quality they are in, the popularity of the 1992 Park Avenue, etc. (Plus Media Rate shipping of course.)

Book 1 should cover everything except advanced electrical diagnosis and driveabilty/emissions diagnosis. It may take a couple months before someone puts one up for sale, but I see them up for one Buick or another relatively regurally. The Haynes/Chilton manuals work for little stuff... say 35% of the total car. The Service Manual will cover every detail.

Beyond that, all the pictures will look EXACTLY like your car. So instead of looking at a picture of the 1989 Park Avenue in a Haynes manual and trying to guess where GM moved the component, you'll just know.

Personally, 1800 pages of documentation comes in handy. Of course, I also get out an inch-lbs torque driver when bleeding my brakes. ROFL
