Here are the best places to look:
* Your Owner's Manual: If you still have the original owner's manual, it might include a simplified vacuum diagram. This is the first place to check.
* Chilton's Repair Manual or Haynes Repair Manual for your specific year and engine: These manuals are readily available online and in auto parts stores. They usually contain detailed diagrams and explanations of the vacuum system. Make sure you get the manual specific to your 1982 Camaro and engine.
* Online Forums: Websites and forums dedicated to classic Camaros (like Camaro forums, or general car repair forums) are excellent resources. Search for your specific year, engine, and "vacuum diagram" or "vacuum line routing." Members often share their knowledge and diagrams. Be sure to specify your engine size and options.
* Local Auto Parts Store: Auto parts stores like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA may have access to diagrams through their computer systems. Bring your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for the most accurate results.
* eBay or Online Classifieds: Sometimes you can find original factory service manuals or reproduction diagrams on sites like eBay.
Important Note: When working with vacuum lines, be careful! They are often fragile and easily damaged. Take pictures before disconnecting anything, and use a vacuum line diagram as a guide to reassemble correctly. Incorrect routing can affect engine performance, emissions, and other systems.
