Where's a good place to get a factory service manual? There's no coupon in
the back of my owner's manual. When did they stop that?

I bought the shop manuals for my 1972, 400 bored .030 over, two door,
6.8 liter Ford Gran Torino by ordering them at Barnes and Noble.

Richard, perhaps he was referring to the 'factory' manual, the book that
service techs use at Toyota dealerships. 'Aftermarket' manuals are not much
better than nothing, looking good at first glance, but far from passing
muster when it comes to getting you through a complicated job. The 'manual'
that I bought at the Toyota dealership unfortunately happened to be one of
them and I'm unsure if this is Toyota's way of keeping the laymen ignorant
or what. I do know that Toyotas require far more 'special' tools to work on
their cars than Nissan does, and the Nissan factory service manuals are
available at dealerships for anyone who has the money.

The shop manuals I have (including the glovebox manual) are all
original, right down to the funky 70s font and the stamp from Ford.
Came in four volumes. Seeing as how I spend hundreds of hours working
on that old bitch (the Torino), I would've been phucked without 'em.
Just trying to save the poster the same headaches I had finding this
(then 20 year old) set of volumes.

Can't remember exactly what the cost was... I think it was around $75
dollars or so.
