Parts Interchange,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corvette, 1968-1982: Parts Interchange Manual (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Manual does what it says. When purchased my expectation was manual would cross reference Corvette parts to other Chevrolet vehicles . It does not! Still looking for that manual.

This review is from: Corvette, 1968-1982: Parts Interchange Manual (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I own a 1982 Corvette and was looking for a book that would help me conduct maintenance on it. This is not the book to own.
Unfortunately I purchase a number of these types of general maintenance books to help me with my corvette. They do provide you with the most common repair processes for the most common Corvette but if your maintenance requirements for your Corvette are not common this book is useless. Unfortunately the (C3 body style) Corvettes underwent a lot of changes and unless you are really in luck procedures to repair your Corvette may not be correct in this manual. You need to purchase a Shop Manual for the year of car you own. They are available from different sources a lot from Amazon. Do not purchase these types of general maintenance books if you want to do anything other than change the oil. Unfortunately I did not figure this out until I connected with C3VR.com guys and got some help.

Double Check This Against Another Reference,

This review is from: Corvette, 1968-1982: Parts Interchange Manual (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I spent many hours looking for parts with the correct casting numbers using this book only to find out the numbers were not even close. Look for for the most common exhaust manifold,#3932461 in the exhaust section. Did you find it? I could not. The book is well made and I will keep it, however I will always double check with another reference.
