Although soft cover books are sold out, a PDF Edition of the book is a better option and remains available for purchase and immediate download.
The PDF Edition is not a copy of the book, but a new creation and constantly updated to make corrections, add new information, or make enhanced changes. All changes are carefully cataloged below so that customers can update their PDFs to the latest version.
Compared to the book, the PDF Edition is superior. It has all the corrections since the book was first published. In addition, much additional material has been added.
Each chapter has a supplement section covering new discoveries.
The appendices have been greatly expanded. All engine part numbers and illustrations are shown, including all obsolete numbers; something not done in Ford’s Master Parts Catalog.
Flywheels, flex-plates, bellhousings/converter housings, clutches, and transmission codes are covered. Starter motors and engine mounts are now covered.
Carburetors now cover all individual component part numbers according to carburetor tag, and all initial settings and instructions. Distributors also cover all individual component part numbers and details on applications. Illustrations of carburetors and distributors are also included.
The High Performance Options appendix has been greatly expanded to cover the 289 HiPo story, AC Cobra distinctions, 260HP, Comet HiPo options, Sunbeam Tiger part numbers, Holman & Moody performance parts, exotic high performance parts, and much much more.
The PDF Edition is presented as a 2-page spread. Quick links are provided at the bottom of the spread to link to sections within the chapter or appendix, as well as links to whole chapters and appendices for quick navigation. Plus, there is a table of contents (TOC) and index linked to pages in the PDF Edition.
The first page of each chapter and appendix is always a single page and has links to all other sections of the chapter or appendix, and links to all other chapters and appendices, as well as to the TOC and index. In addition to these links, wherever a reference to another page is made, a link is provided to go directly to that page.
In short, the PDF Edition acts as a page turner to quickly access any part of the book.
After purchasing the PDF Edition, you will be linked to your download page for downloading 24 PDF files that make up the book. These must be downloaded into the same folder on your computer in order for the individual PDFs to automatically link together as a unit. If you have a problem with the web-based download page, don’t despair as you will also receive an email with links for downloading the PDFs. In addition, you always have access to your download page through your account on this website.
With just a little practice and time to set up the files and computer for quick access, you will soon see how nice the PDF edition is in quickly finding the information you seek.
