Introduction to the Holden Commodore

The Holden Commodores discussed in this book are available in four door sedan, utility and wagon body styles. They are available with 5.0L V8 engines and 3.8L V6 engines. Both engines are covered in thiS manual.All years use conventional front-engine, rear wheel drive configurations. All models have multi-port fuel injection.
