This factory service manual reprint covers 1966 Ford and Mercury automobiles. It's the ultimate source for providing complete repair and service information for these classic models. Coming in at a hefty 840 pages, you'll find the specifications and and instructions you need to get the jobs done right. This material was written by the experts at Ford, for use by their dealership mechanics back when these cars first hit the streets, so you know it's accurate and complete. In addition to the fine step by step instructions, you'll find a huge number and variety of visual aids to assist you all along the way. This massive guide is packed with quality illustrations, black and white photographs, diagrams, exploded views, cut-away views and more.
Even if you're already a great mechanic, you'll certainly appreciate all of the incredibly-detailed specifications organized in this shop manual. There's no need to commit all of those numbers to memory (if that's even possible). It's important to know that the breaker arm spring tension for the 240 six is 17-21 ounces, while the 427 V8 requires a breaker arm spring tension of 22-24 ounces. Yes. It's important to have the torque and other specs while doing the jobs, but you don't have to knock yourself out committing everything to memory. This book has the numbers available right at your finger tips. That means you can now use that available space in your noggin for things such as 0- 60 times, song lyrics, movie quotes, or whatever else you fancy.
