Aircraft Systems for Pilots by Dale De Remer is a good one for basic systems knowledge.
Another good one is the Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual 2nd Ed. by Brown and Holt if you are looking for turbine systems knowledge.

Aircraft Systems for Pilots is a good general book for GA systems...
The only problem is that it was written by Dale De Remer!
Man, his classes were a pain in the ass, but all things considered I did learn a thing or two (although it wasn't really the topic of the courses he taught). Anybody that took either Avit 411 or 407 with him knows exactly what I mean.
Wonder what the old dog is up to in his retirement...

There are also CDs out there for aircraft specific systems, such as the Cessna 172, Piper Seminole, etc. that are pretty good. I have one for the Piper Seminole but I can't remember off the top of my head who makes the CD. I'll let you know once I am able to find out.

You can find the website here:

The software they put together is very good, particularly if you're going to be teaching students. It is a bit expensive though (~$100), but they have CDs for the 172, the Piper Warrior and the Piper Seminole.

One other thing... if you want to really learn GA aircraft systems, head on down to the old FBO closest to your home and get to know some of the mechanics. Ask if you can watch over their shoulder and ask questions while they do their work. I've done this many times at several different airports (all smaller), and learned a hell of a lot in a few hours...
