What area are you in?

2 tintops.
3 cabbies, 1 with G60 power, just for fun.
Volvo T5, just for fun.
3.1Ltr V6 Dutton Leggera, just for fun.
Renault 5 GT Turbo, just a money pit!
Several boring cars, just no fun!

Haynes manual has all the correct torque settings and will identify shell size markings.
Find your engine number to identify whether it's still the original, many cars have had replacement engines fitted.

Manual 726 covers 1974 to 1984/5 and manual 1081 is 1984 to 1992.
