Service Manual

[IMQUIK]

Where is a place that I can get a complete service manual for a 87 gn? Not a Haynes or Chilton. Thanks, Mike

A real GM service manual can be purchased from Helm. Checkout their website: Service Manuals, Owner Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins - Helm Incorporated

It looks like they are out of stock right now. Nothing is better than the real factory manual.

You might still be able to get the manual on CD from Jeremy.

The original GM Buick Chassis Manuals pop up on ebay quite often.... usually end up around $60-$70.... think there's one there now....

Here's one: eBay Motors: 1986 Buick & Grand National GN Shop Manual Set 86 NEW! (item 160238471994 end time May-14-08 17:19:23 PDT)

Price is a bit high, but this one looks to be brand-spankin' new. They're about $100 from Helm if I remember right, maybe more, AND if they ever get them back in stock.... they've been out for a long time now. Supposedly, they will do another print run, though.
Anyway, this is what you are looking for. The '86 and '87 are essentially identical. I saw one last week, used but fine, that went for like $55, plus another $20 or so shipping.... They are HUGE and heavy. HTH! :smile:

Thanks for the help

IMQuik - where are you? I have the service manual - it is still in the box, it came with the car when I bought it years ago.

Shipping will be a killer as it is an anchor!

I bought mine on ebay. They are a "must have"

I am in Brandon, MS area code 39042. What would take for it? It is a 1987 manual? Thanks

The factory manual I got from Helm was for every car Buick made that year. I separated out everything for the turbo regal and it fits nicely in a 3", 3 ring binder I take with me on the 800 mile trip to the Nats, just in case. Everything else is in the original box up in the attic.

Sorry,

I was away for the weekend - I can send pictures if you want. It is the 87 Service Manual, still in the box.

I will take $100 plus shipping, the '86 manual on ebay just went for $125.

Shipping isn't that expensive if you send it "media mail" I don't know what the difference is, but you can mail books, tapes and CD's for REALLY cheap. Check with the post office. Mine only cost less than $10 to ship

Hey fitz, pm sent.

 

[turbobully]

fitz, Im interested in the manual I live in MA and could pick it or have it shipped let me know.

 

[fitz3820]

Sorry all, manual was sold to the OP.

Thanks,
