I would strongly recommend getting the catalog from Classic Motorbooks. No,
they're not on the Web but they have the best selection around:

            Classic Motorbooks
             P.O. Box 1
             Osceolla WI  54020
             1-800-826-6600
             1-715-294-3345

The Bentley book is a must for maintenance and repair. I've never been too
impressed with Haynes manuals although they have a good combo for Weber / SU /
Stromberg carbs.

That Clausager book recommended by the DRED is also good. You just must remember
that David can only enjoy books with lots of color pictures. With too many words
his jaw locks up and won't release until he sees the next load of packages
Eileen brought home from WalMart...

And I certainly approve of a '74 'B'!
