For the '75, you'll need two manual sets. The '74, AND the '75 "supplement". The FSM is the ONLY one that will cover the complete car, in detail. The Hayne's, Chilton's, and others cover multiple years, so the info doesn't get very specific.
You'll want to get both the Service(overhaul) manual, and the Chassis manual, to have complete coverage. The Service manual will cover all of the overhaul, repair, replacement stuff, and the chassis manual covers a lot of the electrical, body, and suspension stuff. I would absolutely recommend the FSM to ANYONE that owns a Corvette...it's a must have, imho.

That's a hel l of a deal right there!! Thanks for the link, Philip!!
Most of the time, you can find the manuals used for about $40 each....getting NEW ones, and a complete set, for $75 is a steal!
The '75 part of the set covers all of the stuff that is different from the '74, including the exhaust(cat converter), and the electronic stuff, such as the HEI ignition, and the electric gauge cluster.
That's a great find on the manuals! I'll have to bookmark that one!
