Default Looking for a good service manual

I just bought a 98 firebird. I would like to find a very informative service manual. Something you may see in a high end shop that a tech would use.

The Helms manual is the best I've found. You can probably find one on an eBay if you watch for a while. They aren't cheap if you buy them new which might be another option.

This. That manual is extremely helpful in all the projects I have taken on.

I know the set for my 2002 is 3 manuals so assume it's the same for yours. Once again, not cheap but everything is in there.

That is probably the correct set. Mine was a 3 book set as well.

I'm having a hard time finding these? I could use 'em. Anybody have a direct link they used to purchase them? My search on ebay didn't turn anything up either.

The '98 set is three books also.

Kinda glad that I'm lazy cuz when I sold my Formula back in 2010 I hung onto the Helms manuals for it. Never realized that I'd have the car back a few years later... so I still have them, no need to rebuy.
