Don't worry about it being an '82. It's 95% the same as the 1983 manual, but the '83 is a huge loose leaf binder and will cost 3x as much. Engine is the same - only the trans and brake booster are different.

I agree with Rich, kid. Get the closest thing to factory you can get. Haynes and Chilton suck big balls if you really need to fix something.

well the haynes manual I have now (1978-1983) manual has held up on minor repairs pretty well, but it doesnt have information on 1981 and later buick regals or t-types. It did help me fix my air intake and blowby hose problem.

The manuals don't give much of anything at all, believe me. There's not much info in the Mitchell profesional manual either. I had access to the Mitchell and it has the wiring diagram and that's about it. The factory one will give you the best info to do a repair.

Helm Inc.. Same place that supplied the dealer when the car was new.
