I was hoping to find a free PDF for you (and me!), but no luck. It should be about 300 pages, but I only found a shady site with a 96 page version... probably Haynes or Chilton... no bueno.

Have you read/heard about the CVCC before?

Summary of what I've read before (might be slightly inaccurate)
It uses a 2nd smaller intake valve and a 3 barrel carb. The main 2 barrels were tuned a little lean. The third barrel is tuned a little rich (for an overall stoich-ish). This made the combustion cleaner and meant Honda didn't have to fit catalytic converters to them in California.

I have a chilton. Got it on clearance on Rockauto. I wonder if the CVCC version of the factory manual is a supplement or a complete book. The only ones that popped up initially on ebay were 1977. I might just buy both versions.

edit: I found (and bought) one that is a loose leaf version (in an original binder!). It says it covers all models 73-77. I might scan some pages in for everyone's viewing pleasure.
