[SINISTER]

I mainly like the early 1970's Gm line up..everything from 1970-1972 looks great.
I can't usually afford the SS models that I'd love to own..so I tend to by the stepchild versions.
I've recently purchased a 1974 El Camino classic...waiting for shipment from the West coast.
Supposedly 350/350 transmission version.
I owned a 73 454 that was quite useful.
Looking for info has not led to much.
Any books you guys can recommend?
Looking for options...how many were produced...etc.
I like to research exactly what I have.
I won't be receiving the car for a few weeks...chomping at the bit for another project.:beer:

If this is a project, looking on Ebay for a Facroty service manual for that year, would be a good idea, and even Factory a parts manual for that year. Auto parts store manuals, like Haynes, are a waste of money.

1974 service manual. The manuals cover more than that year, like models a few years older etc.

The El Camino is covered under Chevelles, and are model 80, with the standard model being 1C80, and the classic etc being 1D80..
