Pellow's books are great for rebuilding an engine.
For electrics, Joe Leoni's books are invaluable.
For repairs and maintenance, I use Muir's "How to keep your VW alive forever" (hearsay, I know, but I'm a mechanical idiot) as a what to do and how to do it and replace numbers/specs by looking them up in Elfrink's Technical Manual. This combo has gotten me through not only regular things (oil change, check points/distributer, valve clearance, etc) but also replacing my throw out bearing, generator, etc.
Ken Ball's "356 A B C" is good too.
