Description
This is the complete, factory-issued 1961 Plymouth and Valiant Service Manual Supplement, a 416-page reference created for dealership technicians servicing the new 1961 Plymouth and Valiant model lines.
Because Chrysler issued major updates for the 1961 platform, this supplement provides all new or changed information not found in the 1960 Plymouth and 1960 Valiant Service Manuals. It is intended to be used together with those manuals and is essential for accurate restoration or repair of any 1961 model.
The supplement includes newly updated procedures for the 1961 Plymouth six-cylinder engine service, 1961 Plymouth V-8 engine repair, the revised carburetion and cooling systems, updated transmission options, improved braking components, heater/AC changes, body revisions, and complete 1961 wiring diagrams for all Plymouth and Valiant models.
Both model groups—Plymouth and Valiant—have their own dedicated sections, each organized into Chrysler’s factory service groups.
