assembly manual

Can someone recommend a good assembly manual for a 1970 Camaro?
there is one on amazon for 37-$ but not sure of the accuracy . If someone has one for sale please let me know

The one I got from NPD was a copy of GM’s manual that I put into a 3 ring binder is complete. My only complaint about it is the way they copied the pages make you continue to rotate the book to keep the pages right side up.

They should all be the same no matter where you buy it. The only real one is the one Chevy used to assemble the cars when new, and anything worth having would be copy of that.

I think I bought a set which included the Fisher Body manual and maybe also included the service manual for a pretty good price, I've used the Fisher manual on a few occasions, the service manual is "OK".

I usually buy 2 Assembly Manuals. One that I can use in the shop and keep disassembly notes on, sometimes cars are not put together exactly as illustrated or they have been worked on and things have been substituted. A good example is on my Camaro the filler panel between the rear window and deck lid never had all of the screws put in it (no holes for the screws). A second manual that I keep clean so I have a reference when I don't want to look at all of the notes. I don't always take the time to wash my hands when referencing the manual so they can get pretty shop worn. As long as you get a loose AIM and not a bound one you could make copies of the pages to keep notes on. The Fisher body manual is a must as it is the ONLY reference currently available that has any information on the stuff that Fisher Body assembled into the car. Another tip to pass along is when I bag my parts I will reference the UPC number, page number, reference number, and the part number along with the number of pieces removed of each. This really helps with re-assembly or replacement.

Eddiesystematic if you’re doing a restoration you may consider how I track disassembly for reassembly. My process for keeping track of how things go back together is I bag/ box the parts after taking lots of pictures with my phone. I include the date on the bag/ box so I can locate the pictures by date along with what they go to. I wish I had used dates from the start of my project but live and learn.

To me, the neat thing about the factory assy manual is that it has all of the available options, illustrations of such, and all of the changes made to them prior to production. Plus the things deleted prior to production. Like the 4-speaker stereo system! Additionally, if you read it all the way through, you discover how much of what lube went where AND how all of the hose clamps were clocked.

Pictures and some way to reference the pictures is great. It is so wonderful that we now have digital cameras to take reference pictures. The old days of film were a pain in the butt as you never knew if the pictures you took were going to show what you wanted (or turn out) because you had to wait for them to come back from the processor (even when we had the 1 hour phot marts). Also digital pictures are basically free if you don't print them so you can easily take hundreds of photos. I have a stack about a foot tall of all the pictures I took of my 70 when I was working on it and still I didn't take enough.

I bought one through an aftermarket retailer printed by "Millennium Industries" and it ends after chapter 6 Engine. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
