Did you know that extreme care should be taken when you are handling or storing cylinder heads? Well, you certainly would if you owned this manual and checked out the "cylinder head or gasket - remove and replace" instructions in the Engine Mechanical section 6-17. It's because the rocker arm studs are hardened and they may crack if they're struck. They also tip you off that when the left head is removed, it's necessary to raise the head off of the dowel pins and move it forward and "jockey" it (in order to clear the equipment for the power steering and power brake). You'd learn that and much, much more. The best news is this meticulous level of detail is provided throughout this guide. The notes and cautions from the professionals are worth the cost of this manual alone. The cost of learning "the hard way" can be horrifyingly expensive.

NOTE: This is the SHOP manual. It covers the CHASSIS areas of your classic Pontiac. We strongly recommend owning ALL of the factory-authored manuals that apply to your vehicle. For information regarding the BODY, please see the 1961 Pontiac Body Shop Manual.
