A Haynes probably wont tell you anything that your Chiltons doe'nt. One manual that has saved me a lot of time and money is the "electrical & vacuum trouble shooting manual" from www.helminc.com When it comes to fixing electrical probs on my 95 Taurus/87 Ranger these manuals are great. Sometimes just looking at a wiring diagram is all it takes to fix an electrical problem.
It would sure be nice if we could go back to the simpler times & cars of the fifties, like your 57 Chevy. Gotta love this simple solution to most of the worlds problems that I saw on a roadside billboard: "Please spay & neuter your pets AND your stupid friends & relatives." Good luck with your EGR.

code 83?
going down the road yesterday the engine died. then restarted again..and ran fine ...then later did the same...I get a code 83 which I can't figure out..one book says it's the low pressure fuel pump...could a bad relay be causing this?...I have a new filter on the fuel line...where is the fuze for the fuel pump?...how much is a new fuel pump?...how can I win the lottery?...will I ever be?
