What is your favorite Triumph manual? My friend and I are restoring a 70? 650 chopper for a young guy and neither of us has worked on one for years.The more specs the better.
Also any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

All of them. Seriously.

Sometimes one will show a view or have a comment on the exact thing you need where another doesn't.

I've got
Haynes Triumph 650 & 750 2-valve unit twins
Clymer collection series, BSA, Norton, & Triumph in one big book
Modern motorcycle mechanics - covers tons of bikes and general tuning too
and an assortment of factory literature
and a Triumph Chopper Guide (collection of articles out of old mags, mostly for entertainment)
and a buncha magazines

If you're going to get just one, get either the Haynes (cheap, easy to find and pretty good) or the factory manual.

If you can find one, snag the "Glenn's Triumph Manual". I think these were the best aftermarket workshop books produced.
