Hopefully I'll find something up at Carlisle or Hershey.

What did Ford do back in the day?
There was no formal service manual, in an effort to provide the dealers with revenue by controlling service information Ford mechanics were basically trained on the job.The service bulletins provided updates and tips.The Les Andrews manuals are the first true DIY manuals for the A.Which brings up an interesting thought.Todays young mechanics receive no training on the basic automobile that existed for 70 years or so.When I was formally trained,we were taught generator rebuild,starter rebuild,basic point ignition systems,carburetor fuel systems, gas engine overhaul,standard transmissions and rear axles,king pin and ball joint front ends,drum style brakes..ancient history now
