Hmm, I don't have the Marion book but I may have some stuff, have to look. I've already packed most of it up for our move this fall but when I get some time...

Doug Marion was the man at Super Chevy back in the day. I followed the Super Chevy Sunday shows throughout the 80's and early 90's. I'm not familiar with that book but of course Marion's claim to fame was the 66 Nova L-79. I have owned them all at one time or another including the 1978 Nova 2dr coupe, from North Carolina that I bought there and trailered back to Michigan in 1990. It had 22,000 miles, 4 spd and a bench seat. All original but I had it repainted base clear black and the black interior was in excellent condition. I changed the stock rear for a 78 Z28, posi 3:42 ratio. I replaced the original intake,cam and carb on the 305ci with dual exhaust. Keystone classics were 14" on the front and 15" on the rear. With these changes it was a very fun car to drive and my son drove it senior year of high school and first two years of college. When I got it back from him in 1995, that was when I got the new paint and drove it to many car shows. Finally sold it in 1999 with 32,000 miles.
I do believe I still have several books on that car such as the GM assembly manual. I can check for you when I return to Michigan in April if you PM me around that time.
