Do you have a manual for your car yet?? You might want to get one before yanking the cam and lifters. The Haynes 82-92 is a good one for a beginner; experts should have the Helms manual- which is the real GM Service Manual- from http://www.helminc.com . It was the first thing I bought after getting my car. I have both manuals, and while the Haynes will give you details on the cam swap, the Helms will give you more than you'll ever need on it.
