NOTE: General Motors did not always rewrite entire manuals from year to year. For instance, this 1961 Chevrolet passenger car shop manual served as the "main" manual for many of these models in the following years. The manufacturer would write "supplement" manuals, which would rely on the previous guide, but provide all of the changes and updates. For service on the 1962 models, you'll need to use the 1962 supplement AND this manual. For the 1963 models, you'll need to use the 1963 supplement PLUS this manual and for working on the 1964 models, you'll need the 1964 supplement AND this 1961 manual. Have no fear. We proudly offer reprints of those supplement manuals.
