"
Gregory's Holden Commodore VB Series 6 Cylinder Workshop Manual is a comprehensive service and repair guide covering the first generation of Holden's Commodore range, produced at a pivotal moment in Australian motoring history. Issued as Scientific Publication No. 117 and published in 1980, the manual applies to VB Series sedans and wagons fitted with the 2.85-litre and 3.3-litre six-cylinder engines across the 1978-1980 production period. It is laid out in the clear, methodical style for which Gregory's SP Manuals are renowned, guiding the reader through routine lubrication and maintenance, engine tuning, roadside troubleshooting, and systematic diagnosis of mechanical and electrical faults.
Heavily illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and sectional drawings, the manual provides detailed coverage of the engine, cooling and fuel systems, clutch, manual and automatic transmissions, rear axle, steering, suspension, brakes, body, and emission control systems, along with conversion tables and a full index. Compiled and tested in Gregory's own workshops, it reflects real-world repair practices rather than purely theoretical instruction, making it an indispensable reference for accurate servicing and restoration. This manual will appeal especially to Holden Commodore VB owners, Australian car restorers, workshop manual collectors, and enthusiasts of late-1970s Holden engineering."
