i would take note of what AW06 said as no offence but you clearly have no idea what you are doing with cars so a haynes manual will be an excellent investment for you.

i also learned from the haynes manual and the whole time i had a nova i never had to ask any questions as it was all covered in the haynes.

if you had a haynes it would show you. john has tried to explain it but being as your not mechanical minded the pictures in the haynes will help you more

[John]
