I would like to have a few on hand to offer as gifts. Tim

Take a look at any MOTORS, Chilton or Haynes manual. They have step by step Pontiac specific as well as large generic sections on overhaul basics, large electrical and trans sections, brake overhaul etc. Example: most electrical questions could be answered by opening a manual specific to your year of car including wiring diagrams. BTW, for those who dont know, many manual and wiring diagrams are available free from
http://www.oldcarmanual.com/
I dont know why more people dont have at least a cheap manual for there car. they are only about $15.00 at any Checker, Autozone, PepBoys etc. The old MOTORS manuals going back into the 60s and 70s are easily found at used book stores, 15-20 bucks
heres a bookstore that specializes in manuals for sale

here is something to try: having a wiring problem with your 73 Firebird? Just type 73 Firebird wiring diagram into Google, you'll be amazed!
