   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.
