Shop Manuals

tnknepp · July 6th, 2009, 11:23 AM

I've taken a break from my restoration for about the past year thanks to all the work I have had to do. But, I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and am looking for a good place to start and thought a shop manual would be beneficial. I currently have one for my 67 (which has a straight six), though it is for eight cylinder engines only. Does anyone have experience with Haynes, Chilton, and/or the Intermediate Shop Manual from Ford, and can make a recommendation on which is better? The Ford manual looks like it has more details, but I wonder if it is worth the extra $10-$20.

I have the Haynes, Chilton, and Ford Shop Manual. The first 2 are pretty worthless except for a second opinion sometimes. They are in my junk box.
I use the factory manual on my pc all the time and it is the best source of information. I also installed it to an old laptop I keep in the garage (saran wrap over the keyboard)
Best 16 dollar tool I found for work on the 66...
