I suggest buying a couple of these books. I am restoring my 1964 Ford Thunderbird and I just ended up buying them all. It is nice to have multiple perspectives; considering I am new to working on cars. I wish I could help you on the vacuum hose situation, but that is my next task too. Lol I am hoping i get through it without going crazy lol.
