Now that interchange manual would come in handy for interchanges with my
79 Malibu and the other G-bodies that GM made. It'd be much better for me
if there was one that covered 1979-1989 though...(G bodies were made from
1978 to 1987...

I also have some of the latter...Chiltons, Clymer and Hayes...Plus a few
Service Manuals for the 1971 Pontiac division. Those are from the time
that I had a 70 Firebird and built a 455 to play with.

I learned my lesson after selling off my old manuals...nothing to browse
and remember 'the good old days'...never sell them, just pass them down
when it's time to really retire.
