Second Choice for $ 20 - $25-- for light work and for some "how-to"
tips, not specific to 1987, coverers all C4s:

Third Choice -- a Chilton Manual covering all C4s. from
<< http://www.automanualtrader.com/ >> or other used book outlets, swap
meets. Sometimes on Amazon.com. Chilton manuals have been plagiarized
by overseas publishers -- some of these have blurry illustrations.

I'm with Paul H. Got a GM Service Manual for our '95 from Helms Inc. and
a Haynes also. Just ordered a GM Manual for our '03 last week, but the
Haynes wasn't worth the time.

The factory GM service manuals are the ONLY way to go....
2 book set for the C4's and they are single year specific.
