What book?
I'm in the process of buying a '79 and have no tech manual for the car. What is the best manual to buy? It's been a long time since I've worked on Chevy 350's as I have only played around with Brit cars for the past few years. Thanks for the advice.

Richard Newtons book on "Restoring and Modifyng a corvette" comes to the top of my "big picture" books, and the Gm shop manual for repair, as well as the Haynes manual...You say you have been doing british sports cars so the Haynes manual will be easy for you to relate to....at least it was for me....

The nice thing about the NCRS store is that all of the books that you need or want are located at the same site. No bidding for someone's used books and no guessing. If you have questions you can call them. You don't need to be a member to buy there. The nice thing about owning the AIM is that after you take something apart and then months later go to put it back together, you have part-by-part description of which part goes first.

and the AIM if you are going to take it apart. If you do much electrical work, an exploded poster-size wiring diagram is nice too, but the shop manual has wiring diagrams.
