You can find factory shop manuals on eGouge sometimes. Some years are being reproduced onto computer CD's, too. :)

the best ones are the Ford shop manuals. worth the extra $ as the haynes and chiltons cover too many years and are not specific enough.

I will say, the chilton and haynes sometimes state the "obvious" -- the shop manuals are written in a manner that basically assumes you are a 1960's mechanic and have a good deal of knowledge in general.

But the best reference is indeed the original manuals. They are reproduced -- I have a set.

I actually was initially dissapointed in them, but as I read them over, I realized that there are details in there that get discussed here over and over, and are nowhere else to be found.

Planned/considered upgrades:
Perhaps power brakes, 300 I6 motor and JUST maybe, AC!
