Your offer of shop manuals for older GM vehicles has me wanting one for my 2000 Chevy Express 3500 that my Roadtrek is built on.  I have done a few searches for it, but cannot find any for a reasonable amount.  I would GREATLY appreciate one, even if it is for the GMC version (shouldn't be much difference).

Thanks, Brian

I have an owners manual.  I am looking for a shop manual.  I need the shop manual for repairs.  PDF format is perfect as it can be searched.

I would rather have a pdf, but any manual is better than none.  Going to be at the RTR?

Thanks guys the thread is pretty much over, you can hijack it all you want, I went into town today, decided to buy the ingnition control module, gave it a try, as in my experience coils rarely blow, took a chance on a hunch and it paid off, changed it and it started right away. I sure appreciate the manual, i have been looking for one, will download it to my computer thanks HDR and everyone else who gave advice much appreciated.

Forgot to ask what you wanted for the paper manual?  

Thanks FKM for letting me hijack the thread and glad you found the problem on the first "parts" swap.  My ol' '77 Dodge used to blow the resistor pack for the distributor.  I always carried a spare after that and a spare fuel pump.

B and C, all I can find for free is up to 1991. there are plenty off options if you want to pay money. sorry, btw way I was thinking of $25.00 for the paper. actually if I were to put it on craigs list I would put it on for $40.00 obo and would have to think real hard about selling it for under 30.00. highdesertranger

Glad you got it fixed Kurb.

For those who are driving rigs with the gm HEI high energy ignition distributor: Since it is really a high output system, it is not uncommon for the coil to blast a hole right thru the rotor and the spark will then follow the dizzy shaft down into the block.  This results in no spark getting to the plug wires and on down to the plugs.  So when I find a no spark condition at the plugs on a HEI equipped vehicle, I then pop off the dizzy cap, which contains the ignition coil, then remove the rotor and look for the telltale electrical burn mark dead in the center bottom of the rotor.  Failure to check for this issue can cause a whole lot of time & money being wasted.

OP: glad that you got it going!
