Bought a 66, looking for a repair manual (factory or other)

[Guest]

I just bought a 66 bronco in good shape.<br>I'd like to fix some leaks and start on a good maintenance/repair schedule but I can't find a manual to guide me. <br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>

The guyies are right this site is a big help . Got mine at a local parts store (HAYNES) also bought a Ford small block rebuild manual .

The Parts stores and such only seem to have Later Model Broncos. One from 73 and up from Haynes. Is the 66 - 73 still in print?<br>I'll take Chilton or whatever, but can't find a source. My local stores are of no help.<br><br>Thanks

Shoot this guy an email tedweems@flash.net. I bought a set of shop manuals for my '74 from him about 3 months ago. I don't know if he will have a set for a '66, but it's worth a try. He was great to do bus. with and the price was reasonable.

Do a search on ABE.com under ford truck manual--I found my '75 factory manuals there, and saw many others.<br><br>Ed<br>

i got mine from ted weems, too. give him a call, but don't pay over $70.

Definitely check out Ted Weens. I purchased 74 shop manuals from him last year, excellent shape! I recieved the manuals the same week.<br>Good luck,<br> Kirk.<br>

Glad you asked this question. I have a 66 and the old Chiltons that I have does not cover the 66 well at all.<br><br>Art

<br>You definitely want the Factory Ford Manuals. Ebay is a good suggestion as a place to look for them. I lucked out and bought my set at a local swapmeet (FYI Pomona Calif). I've also made good use of a 1966 MOTOR (hardbound) manual for details about rebuilding the trans.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br><br>-Terry

I got 66 manuals form Ted Weems. The 66 manuals are pretty decent and he actually had one that was a ford factory just for the 66 bronco. Most other years cover all trucks. So call ted. he is a great guy to deal with. He was on vacation and worked with me to get a manul here for when I needed it for a project ASAP.

I e-mailed Weems and no luck. Nothing on Ebay lately except the same Chiltons that I have. ABE.com dry also. <br><br>Art

My understaanding is tha the only Ford manual for a 66 was the Preliminary Shop Manual and that the full set of 66 truck manuals did not unclude the Bronco. Is this wrong? I have a Chiltons 66-73 which is pretty good. and a Ford 67 Bronco manual. I also have a set of 75 Ford Truck Manuals, which I got for my F-100. Between these I usually find the information I need although the early 66's were different (mine was built Aug. 65) and there seem to be a number of differences amongst the early 66's themselves. A lot of this early 66 specific info is pretty hard to find

I Bought the chiltons manual and the factory preliminary shop manual for the 66 bronco on e-bay. The preliminary shop manual is pretty short but covers most of the bronco specific information. keep hawking e-bay i see the factory preliminary manual up for auction from time to time. If you are looking for more specific information on the 170-6 engine a falcon/mustang/econoline manual from the same era is more specific. another good source is hemmings motor news, they have a lot of ads for individuals/companies that deal in factory literature. good luck on your quest
