Anyone have the Carburetion Section handy from the '78 Chassis Service Manual?

Hey All,

I was wondering if someone had the Carburetor Section handy from the 1978 Oldsmobile Chassis Service manual Handy?

I have the manual from '72 because that's the year of my car, but i recently rebuilt the carb of a '78 Cutlass and need some tuning specs.

The carb number is 17058253. Which is apparently off a '78 M/T Cutlass.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Tony

You're welcome, but that's a lot of printing.

Definitely! At least i like to think the printing is for a good cause, It's pretty interesting how they used propane to tune the carbs (there's a page about that in the manual) I'll have to try that out once the snow all melts around the north-east.
