[QUOTE=T.O.Vette]...
this is the first mechanical engine car that I have ever owned and would love a simple reference for when I am working on it.[/QUOTE]

HUH?

moving up from the squirrels are we?
(just kiddin!)Anyway

...a Factory Service Manual is the best thing you can have for that sort of info, along with the AIM(Assembly Instruction Manual). The AIM shows how all the parts of the car go together, the FSM shows how to do all of the servicing of the vehicle, including the engine/drivetrain. Of course, any questions you may have can always be posted at C3VR...someone will always have an answer...sometimes even the
right answer!

Welcome to C3VR, btw.
