Hi!
Maybe this can help you. This link take you directly to a Swedish site and downloadable Shovelheadmanuals. The site is in Swedish but you will se there are 2 servicemanuals for the 1978, for free!
Looks like this at the top of the page.
1970-1978 Shovel Service 27,1 MB
1978-1984 FL / FX Service 22,2 MB

The manuals are in .pdf (You need Acrobat Reader)

Good luck!
