Did you know that some 1980 Chevrolet models were available with a turbocharged V-6? While that's a common setup today, in 1980 it was a rarity! Not only would you know about it, if you owned this guide, but you'd also learn all about how it works and how to work on it. It explains things such as the Electronic Spark Control (ESC), which is a modified High Energy Ignition (HEI) system. The ESC system is used to control engine detonation by automatically retarding ignition timing during periods of engine operation when detonation occurs. You'd learn about the four major components, and how all the pieces work individually and together. These thick books are loaded with the information you need. They are freshly printed and packaged, yet retain all of the material from the original source.
The second oil embargo in 1979 meant more challenges for Chevrolet. Adjustments and adaptations were made, but Chevy proudly rolled out a line-up with something for everyone. They still had the favorites...Camaro, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Caprice, Impala and Malibu. They also offered a variety of luxury and performance levels within those classic nameplates. The new decade would bring new styles of music, clothing and technology. Chevrolet was there to kick-off this exciting decade change with an array of great cars. By the end of the decade, the line-up would boast a whole new look (even for the model names which continued).
Back when these cars were new, perhaps they ran the kids to a place to feed quarters into the new Pac Man arcade game. Maybe they were used for a trip to buy the fascinating new Rubik's Cube. Perhaps there was time for a quick wash before running inside to catch Dallas in order to find out the answer to the world-wide burning question of who shot J.R.? This was even a year in which the Empire struck back. Regardless of how the lives of these cars started, if you're lucky enough to have one now, and you're ready to put some tools in your hand, make sure this repair manual is the FIRST one you pick up from the workbench.
