1973 Opel Service Manual Includes Information on the Opel 1900, Manta and GT IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. The service procedures recommended by BUICK and described in this service manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when and as recommended. It is important to note that some warnings against the use of specific service methods that can damage the vehicle or render it unsafe are stated in this service manual. It is also important to understand these warnings are not exhaustive. BUICK could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be dbne or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, BUICK has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by BUICK must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the service method he selects. / I / j BUICK MOTOR DIVISION GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION IFLINT, MICHIGAN 48550 , 0 GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, 1972 Litho in U.S.A. 1973 GT OPEL 1900 MANTA TABLE OF CONTENTS SUBJECT CHASSIS I 1 I ELECTRICAL SERVICE I 2 I FRAME AND BUMPERS MANUAL I 3 I SUSPENSION AND STEERING This manual contains service information for the 1973 Opel 1900, Manta and GT 4 REAR AXLE models.

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 SpLificaiions 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 Kent- 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 LOCATING DESIRED INFORMATION To locate any desired information, locate the proper GROUP listed on the second page of the Manual. Bend the Manual until the black tab on the first page of the GROUP can be seen in line with the GROUP title on the second page. The first page of the GROUP lists the SECTIONS contained therein. Turn to the proper SECTION, locate the desired DIVISION and note the PARAGRAPH containing the information you are seeking.

On the oppo- site side of GT keys, is a removable adhesive foil on which, the profile and cutting code letters and num- bers are imprinted. Attached to the protective key cover of Opel 1900 and Manta keys, is a tab on which the profile and cutting code letters and numbers are imprinted. Record the key cutting code letters and numbers before the adhesive foil or plastic tabs are discarded as this information is necessary to obtain replacement keys. In the event of lost keys and code records, one or more locks may be removed to obtain the code num- bers. The codes are stamped on the trunk and igni- tion lock cylinders and on the door lock plunger shaft. If a lock cylinder is damaged, it must be re- placed.

  • Digital 5 3 Ive N N Inside This Issue: a Retrospective: Road & Track ‘S Coverage of Opel 1968-1975
    ry sa th r digital 5 3 ive n n Inside this issue: A Retrospective: Road & Track ‘s Coverage of Opel 1968-1975 Volume DG, Issue 02 Digital Prototype #2, 2015 ? The “Missing Opel Book” Perhaps the best Opel books in terms of page count and value, are the "Portfolio" paperbacks that include original drive tests and other coverage drawn from numerous magazine articles published many years ago. Portions of those were re-printed in older Opel Club issues, but contrary to an impression that may have been given, they do not contain all there is to know! Recently a news article appeared about unpublished original auto magazine notes, photos, and other materials, which were being made available for public inspection at a university archive. This brought back memories in particular of Opel-related coverage from Road and Track magazine, with a focus on the peak US-export Opel era of 1968-1975. Unfortunately, inquiries to the archive revealed that no Opel-related materials apparently survived to make it through processing by staff for this special collection. This compounds an apparent slight by existing publishers, who compiled R&T articles for numerous other makes, but apparently did not find their Opel coverage worthy of a book edition! What we did get, was some brief internal correspondence concerning advertising rates in the early 1970's, combined with a analysis of overlaps of editorial coverage with ads (for several product manufacturers, including Opel). The actual documents were heavily restricted from use, per terms that are commonly applied to vintage materials by archives nowadays.

  • The Definitive Opel Gt Guide for Year, Color and Parts Identification
    THE DEFINITIVE OPEL GT GUIDE FOR YEAR, COLOR AND PARTS IDENTIFICATION This has been a common question on the mailing list and for most Opel GT owners for years. One explanation for this trouble was the difference between the European model year and the American model year in years past. The European model year ran from January to January, while the American model year ran from September to September. The tactic of introducing your company’s “New” model year early eventually influenced the Europeans and now everyone does it. Of course we can now see new models show up as early as Mid-April, but that’s another story altogether. The other reason or excuse that has been kicked around is that Opel was trying to build the GT to sell at a fair price. To do this with all the extra labor it took to put the GT together required cost-cutting measures. So when Opel redesigned a component on the GT they would first use up all the old components before they made the change. That’s why differences in model years cross over. Or perhaps Opel or the assembly plant workers were just plain lazy. In any case, it has become somewhat difficult to distinguish between the different model years. 1968 – Yes Virginia, there is a ‘68 GT. But it is VERY RARE, most records indicate that only approximately 121 of them were ever built and only 31 were imported into the US. These were first-run vehicles that were sent to special dealers as promotional tools.

  • World Premiere for New Antara and Corsavan Concept
    WORLD PREMIERE FOR NEW ANTARA AND CORSAVAN CONCEPT • New Corsa: Exciting, individual and dynamic • Vectra OPC: Now with 280 hp and modified chassis • New GT: Legendary sports car with modern design • Astra TwinTop: Coupé among cabrios brings breath of fresh air • Vivaro and Movano: New editions consolidate commercial vehicle success Paris. Opel presents two world premieres as well as numerous updated and enhanced models at the Paris Motor Show (September 30 – October 15, 2006). The new Antara makes its first public appearance at the Opel stand in Hall 5.2 of the Paris expo grounds. With the technologically sophisticated and dynamically designed four-wheel drive five-seater, Opel is again staking a claim as leader among volume manufacturers in the SUV and crossover segment. As one of the most important new models of the 2006 car year, the fourth Corsa generation is also on display in Paris parallel to its market launch on October 7. With its sporty, athletic contours, agile handling, roomy interior and feel-good ambience, the popular Opel is perfectly positioned to reach top sales figures again. While the coupé-like three-door and family-friendly five-door Corsa models debuted in London, the sporty CorsaVan concept study, which is based on the three-door Corsa, makes its public premiere in the French capital. The new Opel GT – legitimate heir to the legendary sports car – is contending for the title of public darling in Paris. With its sharply cut lines, rear-wheel drive and 260-hp turbo engine, the new model echoes the successful concept of the original 1970s GT.
