1979 Toyota Corona Service and Repair Manual

This is the factory service and repair manual for the 1979 Toyota Corona, and it is tied to that model year rather than to the nameplate as a whole. Toyota sold the 1979 car in Base and LE form, as a sedan, a wagon or a hatchback, with either an automatic or a standard transmission behind it, and the figures you work to should be the ones Toyota published for the exact combination in front of you rather than values carried back from an adjacent year.
