In 1981, Pontiac had a stellar lineup of models to suit your tastes and needs. This manual addresses their service and repair tasks thoroughly. One particular model of note that year was the Trans Am. It was the last year of the second-generation of the Firebird (boasting a good-looking body style which debuted in 1970!). It offered world-class handling, and under the hood you could have a 301 cubic inch (4.9-Liter) V8. If that doesn't sound muscle car enough for you, did I mention it had a turbo? That may be common place in today's world, but in '81, it was a rare feature in production cars! Whichever model and engine you have, this 1981 Pontiac Service Manual has the information to get and keep it at its best.
This factory-written shop manual is perfect for service, repairs, restoration and rebuild projects. Clear illustrations and photos show exploded views, as well as component details, plus specifications, engine repair details, fuel systems and more.
