Need Help

hollywoodGU · 08-07-2009, 01:36 AM

I know relativlly little in terms of motors and transmitions. Atleast as little as you can and still be s car guy. i would love to learn all about it. however my problem is i am going to college fulltime and have a job so it doesnt leave me with alot of time to learn about cars. I am very good with reading write ups and charts and teaching myself things. My question is, is there a place online or a book i can buy to atleast learn the begining of what i need to know to be on my way to being able to wrench on my 1978 z28 camaro

thanks

Chiltons manuals seem to fair pretty well...well at least that's what I used to teach myself. Of course if you want to go even more technical there is autoeducation.com which is a basic site. However..there is a ton of resources here http://www.educypedia.be/education/careducation.htm
