    I got Bentley 78-82 manual, but I would love to have emission system details from shop manual.. I do not know how Toyota did this.. For my 86 volvo one can find separate factory little books on different subj (e.g. air-conditioning, suspension etc..) on-line or hard copies .. with those in hand you really know what you are doing.. I have not found those for Toyota ..

    Go to the dealer. I looked for the FSM for my old 89 and the dealer had em for $100+ each book. An there were 3. And since u have a '80 its guna be harder to get since its waaaaay older
