I've listened to this song a couple times, so I think I've got a pretty good handle on what the meaning is:
This band obviously has an affinity for Chilton automotive repair manuals, hence the title of the song. It's a song about working on a car that keeps breaking down, an AMC Venus. (crappy car from the 70's) The odd thing is that it keeps breaking down in front of a particular grocery store, Big Star. The kids that loiter in front of the store love it hear the engine purr when he finally gets it working, though; that's the "I'm in love with that sound," line.
