Of which I am one. Sometimes, as a last resort, I will use this GMPARTSWIKI web site. Once you plug a part number in, it will search multiple manuals and display the catalog and page of that particular part number.
Attached is a screen capture of a part number I researched today. There were no less than 30+ hits for this particular carburetor/ carburetor part numnber. It has come in handy for me more than a few times. It may be a valuable tool to add to your tool box.
