I am very much a novice compared to most here, but just keep checking back and reading as much as you can. There's a ton of great information in the OTD main site and blog as well as the Master Reference Table. Other resources I frequently reference for information that you're seeking are:
This thread is pretty useful in breaking down differences. Also just search "carrera" and read old posts: http://chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?md=read;id=59151

Eric's article is always a good one: http://www.hodinkee.com/articles/understanding-the-earliest-heuer-carreras

Mika's site is a pretty useful visual: http://www.vintageheuercarrera.com/

And of course Richard's semi-annually updated price guide: http://www.heuerpriceguide.com/#/buyers-guide/4561783359
