Check with the local library to see what they have first, at least that's free. A set of factory shop manuals for you car would be real good to have. You can find originals at swap meets, on eBay or from online dealers, or you can get reprints from Performance Years or other sources, and there are copies on CD-ROM these days. Another idea is to look for an old Motors or Chilton manual at a swap meet or used book store. They can usually be found pretty cheap, and they have a lot of good general information. Each edition covers six years' worth of cars, so you don't need to find one from the exact year as the car - as an example, I have a 1973 issue of the Motors manual on the shelf here and it covers all the way back to 1967.

yea , im deffinitly new at the older car stuff. im only 20. i do have some basic automotive knowledge. i can do all the work myself , the only thing im iffy on is the points. can anybody answer my questions though ? thanks
