I was wondering if the white/blue efi booklet is needed if I already have the 2 brown efi booklets plus the '76 wsm ?  Does it have any good additional info being a later print or just combines the 2 brown booklets....?
Thanks

I don't have the brown book but maybe a good start would be comparing the index of each. Here's the index from the blue and white book. The blue and white also has a chart based on repair data which possibly was not included in the earlier version (just a guess though).

Thanks for the reply, hopefully others with both manuals can chime in as well.

If you have a FI version I would default to having the added information that would have updated Information...GM felt the need to print it in the first place?

The middle, brown book is 31 pages, the blue and white is 79 pages,
I felt it was written because more was needed. 

There are a lot of diagnostics in the blue and white, perhaps covering
the 3rd, brown book, which I do not have. 

Funny they all show a relation between the rotating magnets (SPEED
SENSORS) and the gear dimple, which does not matter.  WHAT DOES
MATTER, is the relationship between the magnets and the rotor tip, it
is in my drawing, and eventually shown in the 79 manual.  Bruce Roe
