I recommend getting the 1953 Ford Passenger Car Shop Manual, available reprint or original from several sources.

I have both of the books that McGarret posted. They were my first two. I think I have 5 now, but those are good to cross reference with. Now, how about some pictures of your car. We love V8 car pics!
