Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes. Copyright ~1982, still in print, available most major bookstores. Excellent for theory on Carb/Turbo systems.

Another great reference book. V-6 Performance by Pat Ganahl. Copyright ~1982, still in print, available most major bookstores. Excellent for carb Buick V6 (mostly NA). Includes early V6's. Has other makes, but about ½ is the Buick V6.

Gotta have the carb book.

Good call Pat.

Also, a factory service manual is a must, IMO. Ebay's a good source for these. '83 owners might be better off getting an '82 manual. '82's a bound book, '83 a thick mess of loose leaf in two binders (and usually expensive). 98% of the car is the same from 82 to 83.
