Anyone know where I can find the Factory Ford Service Manuals for the EB or the Chilton manual for the 66-86 Bronco (Chiliton's website doens't list one)? I had both when I was doing the resto on my Cougar and they were great, especially the set of Ford manuals. There used to be a guy at Carlisle, PA that specialized in factory shop manuals. Anyone go there?

Save a hammer, read a book.

Also, isn't there a link to a site for shop manuals on the Top 4X4 voting website? Right at the top left of the logo?
I couldn't find a part number on my Chilton's or Hayne's books, but I'm sure any local auto parts stores would have the ability to look up the part number just in case.

I got my factory manuals from E-bay, but Tom's Bronco sells a Chilton's manual for 66-77 and a Haynes manual for 73-79.

There was a swapmeet this past weekend in the Ameriquest Field parking lot, and of all the years I've been going to this meet, I've managed to miss the shop manual guy. Well, not this time...

I scored all 5 volumes plus the supplementary complete chassis wiring diagrams all in one swoop. It wasn't cheap ($95) but I got it all at once. Contact this guy, and see if he has, or can get what you want.

I bought my factory set from Bronco Driver magazine. All 5 manuals for $70 I think I paid. They came quick and were in great condition.

Cool, thanks for the info! I've seen the Chiltons on e-bay but question their condition if used. The Weems contact info for the manuals is great, I'll check it out but would really like to get the number from the one in BD?

Keoni - know the number/address?

Didn't see the Shop Manual ad on the Top 4x4 page and couldn't vote - I did EARLY this morning ;D

Napa looked up the Chilton's for me but said they couldn't get it anymore?

Chiltons 66-86 Bronco book has been out of print for a few years. The 66-77 book has prolly been out of print for over twenty years.

I don't have an addy, but somewhere online you can get the factory manuals on CD ROM.

I got mine from a guy named Bob Johnson on the east coast. Do a search for him and you should be able to find him on the web.

Hello-
Faxon automotive literature sells them all.

Faxon Auto Literature, Riverside, CA; 800/458-2734, 909/786-4177

Not cheap, but excellent and complete source of info.

You'll find most of the info you need in the Chilton's or Haynes (as a matter of fact, a lot of the illustrations in them come from the service manuals), but the manuals can't be beat for completeness.
