Official Ford Motor Company shop manuals and wiring diagrams.
Published by Helm Publications. The full manual is a bit (okay, a lot) expensive, and you don't get the addenda that the dealers do, but they're a good way to check whether your mechanic knows the SHO. The shop manual is sufficient for a complete tear down and rebuild of the car but makes a lot of references to special tools and equipment available only to Ford dealers, and the do-it-yourself maintenance guide, which doesn't cover all I'd like but is thorough on those bits it does cover (oil changes, general inspection, etc.) |
