I am doing extensive work on a friend’s 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400, including a complete engine overhaul/upgrade and swapping in a TH-400 auto transmission for the non-original Muncie 4-speed manual trans, among other things throughout the car. He gave me a copy of the original 1967 Pontiac Service Manual and 1967 Firebird Service Manual Supplement. While it is nice to have those original manuals for reference, their value is actually limited by certain factors. The 1967 Firebird Supplement is very limited in what it covers, forcing me to go to the 1967 Pontiac Service Manual, which covers all Pontiac models (except Firebird due to its mid-year introduction) for 1967. It is not always clear what applies to the Firebird and what applies to other models. In addition, the manuals refer to the use of many special tools and the procedures are written for GM/Pontiac dealer repair shops in 1967. In contrast, this Chilton GM/Firebird 1967-81 Repair Manual is written for modern enthusiasts who like to work on their own cars. There is a wealth of info in this manual that is organized better than the factory manuals, and it recommends modern alternatives to outdated dealer special tools and maintenance procedures, with an impressive amount of detail. While it is true that this Chilton Manual covers a lot of years (1967-81), the different model year ranges are chronologically ordered with a good amount of detail and plenty of pictures to help keep everything straight. I also like the fact that this manual covers a lot of years so I will be ready for whatever Firebird (up through 1981) I work on next! And for those rare instances when what you need to know is not in this Chilton Manual, you can also refer back to the Pontiac Service Manuals. That is why I recommend getting both, but if you can afford only one, then get this Chilton GM/Firebird 1967-81 Repair Manual. You won't be disappointed!Read full review

Tisi is a great companion piece as I upgrade my 68 Firebird. By having the original part numbers at hand, it makes it easier to replace or upgrade needed components. I highly recommend the book and the quick response time of seller.
