Ford Shop Tips on CD

Some of you may not be familiar with the Ford Shop Tips that were published for Ford Cars and Trucks (including Mustangs, of course!) back in the sixties and early seventies. They were a collection of technical parts and service information published by Ford Motor Company to assist service technicians. I think that it is just difficult to explain the interesting tidbits that you find in these publications. Shortcuts, tips, or tricks...whatever they are called, these articles provide invaluable information to mechanics to make repairs fast and easy. Articles are written in plain, straight-to-the-point fashion and provide simple solutions to common problems. Most of this information cannot be found anywhere else because it was developed after the publication of the shop and parts manuals. I have always collected paper copies but have never been able to find all the ones that I wanted.

Now you can get them all on a CD, just like our popular Mustang Colorized Wiring Diagrams, Mustang Shop Manuals, Ford Master Parts Catalogs, and Mustang Parts and Illustration Manuals.
