INTRODUCTION
The 1973 Opel Service Manual includes information on the Opel 1900,
Manta and GT. It is organized to correspond with current servicing tech-
niques. The various chassis components and systems have been classified
into the nine (9) GROUPS.
Every GROUP contains one or more SECTIONS. Each SECTION deals with a
specific version of a component or system.
The service information included in a SECTION is divided into five (5) basic
DIVISIONS. The titles of each DIVISION are:
Description and Operation
Trouble Diagnosis
Maintenance and Adjustments
Major Repair
A DIVISION contains one or more PARAGRAPHS which can be identified by
their specific headings.
SUB-PARAGRAPHS are used when necessary for clarity or to provide distinc-
tion between component procedures.
SPECIAL TOOLS
References are made throughout the Manual to special tool numbers, desig-
nated by the prefix letter “J”. These tools are manufactured by the
Moore Corporation, Inc. If equivalent special tools are not available locally,
they may be obtained through:
Kent-Moore Corporation, Inc.
28635 Mound Road
Warren, Michigan 46092
