Default Working on a 1955 Chevy

I plan to start working on a 1955 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery that my Dad
bought new and I haven't driven or even started since 1991.

I am looking for useful books and websites.

I have rebuilt several engines, but long, long ago (early seventies to
mid eighties), and I only turned the wrenches, my father supplied the
brains, so I need to find books on 55 chevrolets as well as books on
rebuilding engines, hopefully on as easy to understand level as the
"_________ For Dummies" series.

I am looking to make safe, dependable transportation of it while using
as many original equipment parts as possible and doing as thorough a
job as possible. For example, I hope to rebuild my original engine,
but if not, I want to get a 235 to replace it.

The two changes I plan to make are to convert it to an electronic
ignition and 4 wheel disc brakes.

I also need websites for information on original equipment parts
numbers, specifications, and purchasing parts.

I am not in a hurry; I want to do it right.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can be.
