This 1978 Pontiac Service Manual (2-Volume Set) is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Pontiac Motor Division. If you're ready to work on your 1978 Pontiac, the first tool you'll want in hand is this shop manual. At just under 1,400 pages, we've broken it into two (easier to hold and use) volumes (sold together as a set). They cover general information, maintenance and lubrication, heating and air conditioning, steering, suspension, wheel and tires, propeller shaft and differential, brakes, engine, transmission (automatic, manual, clutch), chassis electrical, accessories and metric fasteners.
NOTE: This manual does cover frame and body mounts, front and rear bumpers, chassis metal, plastics, paint and repair, BUT other "Body" information can be found in our: 1978 Fisher Body Service Manual, which can be found by clicking here...1978 Fisher Body Service Manual.
This repair manual applies to all 1978 Pontiac models and series and is loaded with step by step instructions for service and maintenance. The comprehensive text is accompanied by an impressive number and assortment of visual tools, such as diagrams, black and white photos, tables, charts, to make sure you have the information you need to get the jobs done. It has wiring diagrams.
Whether you're wrenching on a 2.5 litre (151 cubic inch) L4, the 6.6 litre (403 cubic inch) V8, or any of the engines in between, this monster book has you covered with specifications and instructions to aid in troubleshooting and repairs from minor to major.
Thanks to carry-over excitement from the smash movie hit "Smokey and the Bandit" the previous year, Pontiac was red-hot in 1978. The movie took an already popular car in the Trans Am and pushed it to legendary status. If you're lucky enough to be servicing one of those famous Trans Ams, or one of Pontiac's other popular 1978 models, this guide will help you to get (and keep) that classic Pontiac motoring down the road. It's a wonderful resource when your project has a long way to go and a short time to get there.
