This 1958 Pontiac Shop Manual by publisher Detroit Iron® is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the shop manual written and first published by the experts at the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Pontiac Motor Division for use by their dealership mechanics. You can't use it to tighten a bolt to the factory-correct specifications, check for voltage or projects from simple tune-ups to major overhauls. This service manual may be the best and most beneficial tool you can have at your fingertips when it comes to working on your 1958 Pontiac. It starts with some general information, then moves on to sections regarding lubrication, body-to-frame mountings, frames, coil spring suspension, rear axle and propeller shafts, brakes, engine, engine cooling, fuel, clutch, standard transmission, fuel tank and exhaust, steering, wheels and tires, chassis sheet metal, electrical, instruments, accessories and ends with information on tune-n-test. This 424-page book is a detailed guide for getting and keeping your classic Pontiac on the road. It has wiring diagrams.
Pontiac powered their 1958 models with a 370 cubic inch displacement V-8. If you're searching for the specs or service details, this book has the information you need. From descriptions of the hydraulic valve lifters to the removal and replacement of cylinder heads, and even the procedures for removing and replacing the timing chain, you'll find it all here...and much more. It gives you the scoop on the Rochester 2GC 2-jet carburetor, as well as the Rochester 2GC triple two-barrel carburetors (in case one carb just isn't enough!). You'll find this shop manual is loaded with step-by-step instructions thoughtfully accompanied by black-and-white photographs, illustrations, diagrams, cut-away views and tables to give you unmatched clarity and the knowledge and confidence to tackle your list of Poncho projects. With it, you'll have that Strato-Streak V-8 thundering through the gears just like in the old days.
