my birthday is comin up and i was wondering what you guys think i should ask for i have an 87 camaro 4bb 305. either that or what should i buy with the money i get

Well since your sig says your trying to get it running how about whatever parts you need for that!!

i just need to get all the vac hoses reconnected after she is good to go

Ok so your question is still to open ended. How much money you think your getting have you done anything to your car yet?

A helm's manual. These are dealership books that the mechanics use.

Nice to have, if your keeping her stock.

ok i know for sure my gf is spending about 200 and i usually get about 200 cash so what do you think i dont have much done, i have flowmaster( realy old one) but i just have the y pipe unplugged so thats doesnt matter it has a aftermarket cam in it. i just put on a edelbrock intakje manifold on it and thats about all. i am thinking about upgrading my ignition or suspension what do u think i was think maybe just new plugs and bigger wires all the way around. and maybe a ignition box but i am not sure

You could try asking for an 8 sec pro-street camaro. You never know till you ask right???

A helms manual would be good or something cosmetic for exterior or interior. Once you start messing with mods though it can get pricey. Besides, mods are like potato chips...nobody can have just one.

I would definatly invest in new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, 02 sensor, all the basic tuning parts to get it up to snuff. A good manual specific to your car as mentioned above is a great help for the do it yourself mechanic. I wouldn't waste my money on any go fast parts until everything else is up to snuff.
