1970 Toyota Corona Service and Repair Manual

Fitment here is narrow on purpose: this 1970 Toyota Corona factory service and repair manual is tied to a single model year and to the engine code and body your car actually left the line with, whether that is a 3RC, an 8R or an 8RC in a Base or a Mark II, so the figures it quotes are the ones Toyota released for that build rather than numbers carried over from an adjoining year.

Known issues on the 1970 Corona. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Campaign 72V320000 is a visibility recall covering the exterior rearview mirrors and related devices; the entry names the component but records no consequence text. Campaign 71V084000 is filed under the unknown or other category, with no consequence text on the record. Campaign 78V002000 covers the gasoline fuel tank assembly: the fuel tank could develop corrosion due to a mixture of road salt and water in the luggage compartment, and the corrosion could create a small hole in the tank. Three technical service bulletins are on record.

From a corrosion inspection of the tank and luggage compartment on a car that has seen road salt to routine work on a 3RC, 8R or 8RC, it keeps you on the Toyota procedure and the correct figure for this exact 1970 Corona.
