For doing basic assembly and dissasembly like pulling engines and trannys and installing other drivetrain parts/etc... Don't really have anyone around me that knows cars so I kind of got to learn from the ground up. Any help with what you guys have read or know that is good would be very helpful. Need some homework. :D

Don't bother with other brands such as the Chiltons or the Motor ones, because they're inferiour. The Haynes manuals are much more model specific in their disassembly and assembly instructions, and also have a lot more pictures than the others do.

Or...you can click on the link below and order from their website with a credit card.....

The factory service manuals are generally the best for stuff like that. If you have a Chevelle that you are going to keep, they are worth the cost.

There are a number of books on Chevy Engines as well as most transmissions also, that are excellent.

The Haynes are better than the others. I would just buy the manual and skip the Haynes, Chiltons, etc, for an older Chevelle.

I use both the GM service manual, as well as the Haynes manual. One explains some things better, while the other one explains other things better. So between the both of them, I usually do ok. With alot of help from our fellow board members here on Team Chevelle ofcourse. :thumbsup:
