Introduction and Performance Data

From the 1941–1942 Pontiac Shop Manual

The title page has the section index, a list of 1941 and 1942 model numbers with wheelbases, and the starting serial numbers for the Pontiac, Linden and South Gate plants. Next come the Pontiac Service Craftsman program, the Service Integrity Code, notes on the new-car, 1000-mile and 2000-mile inspections, and the points to explain to new owners. The section ends with performance data: fuel economy curves, brake horsepower curves for the Six and Eight, and speed-to-rpm tables for the 4.1 and 4.3 axle ratios.
