The 1980 Chevrolet Corvette, powered by the legendary 350 cubic inch small-block V8 engine, represents a pivotal moment in the iconic sports car's history. This generation, known as the C3, marked the end of an era of robust, powerful V8s, as emissions regulations began to reshape the automotive landscape. While this 1980 model retained the classic Corvette styling, it introduced a new, electronically controlled engine management system known as the "Computer Command Control" (CCC). This system, designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, utilized an electronic control unit (ECU) to manage ignition timing, fuel delivery, and other critical functions. Despite the technological advancements, the 350 engine, a staple of Corvette power since its inception, remained a formidable force, delivering a healthy 185 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. This combination of classic styling, innovative technology, and reliable performance solidified the 1980 Corvette's position as a highly desirable and collectible car.

However, the introduction of the CCC system also ushered in a new era of complexity for owners and mechanics alike. Diagnosing and repairing issues with the electronically controlled engine presented a significant challenge, demanding a deep understanding of electrical systems and electronic diagnostics. To assist owners and technicians, Chevrolet released the 1980 Corvette 350 Workshop Repair Service Manual. This comprehensive guide served as an indispensable resource, providing detailed information on every aspect of the vehicle’s operation and repair. From engine specifications and troubleshooting procedures to electrical diagrams and component identification, the manual served as a lifeline for anyone looking to maintain or repair the 1980 Corvette. The 1980 Corvette 350 Workshop Repair Service Manual became a vital tool for ensuring the continued performance and longevity of this classic sports car, preserving its legacy for generations to come.
