I was fortunate to have obtained the 1976 Corvette AIM (2 books) directly from Chevrolet Engineering. (I don't know if that was necessarily good or bad with respect to it being up to date.)
Later I was able to obtain a 1975 Corvette AIM as well. The 1975 book I had to return. Rather than copying every page from the 1975 book, I compared 1975 to my 1976 book and only copied pages that were new or different and added them to my 1976 book.
It always seemed to me that my 1976 book was missing pages. However, when I compared it to the 1975 book there were not a whole lot of pages in the 1975 that were not in the 1976.
I have always been suspicious that there are a lot of pages missing in my 1976 book.
For instance: 1976 Spark plug wire shielding.
I can find the wire routings, standoffs, and looms to hold the wires (6Y Sheet #3). But I cannot find the shielding.
Even the contents sheet (6M Sheet #1) shows an engine with bare ignition wires - no shields.
6Y Sheet #4 shows two passenger side spark plug shields. There are two revisions dated 5-8-75 on that sheet:
Symbol #1 3919807 Shield removed
Symbol #2 L.H. View removed
So unless the shielding is somehow hiding in a section that I can't find, both of my 1976 books and the 1975 that I borrowed do not have the shielding.
