One source is the book "Ada Quality and Style"
developed by the Software Productivity Consortium and
available from AdaIC.  I think the ascii text of the current version
is on ajpo.sei.cmu.edu.
Disclaimer: I was involved with its creation so I am biased towards it 
(mostly, nothing is perfect).

There are other good ones as well from NASA, Boeing, Rational and others.
If you get the SPC guide, it has references to others.

Whatever you choose, you should probably need some project specific tailoring, 
but the best of these books get you thinking about quality and point out places
where you ought to think twice about what you're doing.

The lexical issues are the least important, but dont feel obliged
to follow the LRM style that is so heavy with using UPPER CASE.
