You'll need the 1974 manuals and the 75 supplements. I don't think they are in print anymore. FleaBay em.

....I was wrong but they're not cheap.

Re: Repair manuals

Factory manuals are best.
If you have to go Haynes or Chilton, flip a coin or get both. Both have their advantages and shortcomings.

Re: Repair manuals

Check on ebay as well, there's always lots of shop manuals there. I recently picked up an original '84 Chevrolet manual for $28 shipped, it's on the rough side but it's complete.
