We had a good thread going on the cadillac owners forum about "Italian Tuneups." a.k.a. high rev. foot down carbon cleanout. But I'm sure that's not what you're after. Just thought I'd drop in on you and let you know I'm here.

What kind of info are you looking for, Plugs, when to change? Timing, how to? I picked up a Chiltons on E-bay, it covers most anything your looking for. It was less than $10

Procedure...I'm working on an article for basic tuneups on a 454 in a motorhome application. Basically the usual stuff, timing, carb, idle, etc. but with a few of the tips and tricks specific to motorhomes

All the specs are in there for the P30 Chasis. WHen I start a restoration, I go looking for all the tech info I can get my hands on. This one is pretty generic, but I have not yet found a GM Motors Manual. I have one of them as well as an assembly manual for my 62 Impala http://www.amazon.com/Subaru-1985-92-Chiltons-Repair-Specific/dp/0801983053
