This OEM 1958 - 1959 Dodge Car Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed reproduction of the original shop manuals published by Dodge Division. In 1958, Dodge continued to offer strong power options to the car-buying public. Their Red Ram, Super Red Ram and Getaway Six engines kept things humming along nicely. If yours isn't humming so well, this manual can help you get it back (and keep it) in tune. Whether you're tearing up the boulevard in a Coronet, Royal, or the flagship model Custom Royal, you'll find what you need in the pages of this service manual. We've conveniently combined the 1958 Dodge Shop Manual with the 1959 Dodge supplement (which depends on you to reference the 1958 manual for most instructions, but charts all the specific changes for the 1959 models). Together, you'll find 684 pages of detailed information to help you through all the maintenance and service jobs for your Mopar classic.

Check out this service manual, and you'll soon discover that it's filled with black and white photographs, cut-away diagrams, illustrations, wiring diagrams, tables and other visual aids which go along well with the detailed text instructions. Combined, they provide all the information and confidence needed to tackle the tasks on your list of vintage, "swept-wing" styled Dodge projects from minor, all the way to major. Dodge definitely had some cool features during this era. For instance, their automatic beam changer was a headlight control unit. It sensed the intensity of other vehicles headlights and then automatically adjusted your cars lights between dim and bright settings. Want to adjust your automatic beam changer? Well, this book tells you how. How about the "Mirror-Matic"? That was Dodge's electronically operated rear view mirror. It was self-dimming. That's right. It has an electronic glare detecting mechanism, which is housed entirely inside the case for the mirror. Sounds hihg-tech now, and this was the late 1950s! Find out all about the sensitivity selection, learn about the photo-electric cell, and how to service the Mirror-Matic and make adjustments, too! There's also information for the Level-Flite System, which is an air suspension used in conjunction with conventional suspension pieces to provide better ride quality and maintain a constant rear height. In this shop manual, you'll find multiple schematics, instructions for maintenance, testing for leaks, etc.
