The best 2 books you can buy are the AIM (assenbly instruction manual) and the GM Service Manual for your model year.

The Service manual is full of trouble shooting guides, and the AIM shows how all the parts go together.

You can usually pick up a good used Service Manual On The Flea Bay! I have the Assembly manuals on sale in the forum section at this link. http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=25586
