    Default i'm scanning the entire 1986 electrical/vacuum book..anyone else, maybe join in...

    It seems as though no one has scanned all the electrical and vacuum shop manuals for our mustangs. I've seen some links for other electrical manuals, but not THE shop manual for it.

    i'm 1/4 of the way through scanning the entire 86 book. If anyone else has any other year book, and no life...perhaps you could scan them...when I'm done, I'll post up a link to it, and perhaps the site can add it to their reference manuals..

    I have '79, '83, '85, and '86 EVTMs for the Mustang/Capri and '84 for the LTD/Marquis. The '79 EVTM is going to be difficult as the pages are double the size of the rest. Need a very large scanner bed for that, or know how to merge two scans into one. I also have a full set of shop manuals for '84, and a partial set for '83 and '85.

    I scanned a whole bunch of stuff (magazine articles and feature cars) a few months back. I suppose I should do more.

    that's cool. I'm about half done with the 86 one now. In retrospect, I'm wondering if I should have just destroyed the binding. My scanner has an automatic feed, and I could have just fed it all of the pages...In the end, having this stuff digitized will be worth more than having it paperback. This manual was so much better than any single source I found anywhere else.

    this is labor intensive though,that's for sure.

    I know they have wider scanners. You'll have to save the 79 for last...I bet you could find a wider scanner in a library somewhere

    Not trying to sound stupid or anything, but if there are issues scanning anything, couldn't what you want to scan be on a flat surface, and take a picture of it with a camera that has a really good focus?

    OK. I just got finished scanning all 143+ pages (closer to 160) of the 86 electrical and vacuum troubleshooting guide.

    This should be fantastic for anyone in the future who needs this info, as these books are no longer made, and getting harder and harder to come by.

    FOX, can you download this from my server, and upload it to fep
    http://foureyedpride.com/fep_bild/v/img_arch/tech/

    there, or wherever you think it should go?? I'd love it to be permanently available if possible.

    Here it is....If anyone else has the time to scan complete manuals, please do so!!! This is the only one so far that we have (there is a supplement for the 83 manual, but not the entire manual on the link above.

    Here is the manual. If you have any luck putting it on the FEP site, let me know, thanks!!

    I am downloading it to my computer now. I don't have a place to host it, but atleast I will have a copy of it. I will eventually burn a copy of it to disc so I have a back copy of it should anything ever happen we wil always have a copy laying around to reuse. Of course I will have to put a copy into my laptop also so I can have it in treh garage when I am working on my car.

    Great! Being on dial up, it'll be a while before I can grab the whole thing - maybe I can used a city library computer and e-mail it to my self...

    I have the EVTM for the '78 Fairmont/Zephyr but my scanner is a bit small.

    Navycat,
    Yes, had seen pics from your previous posts, and also heard the car before breifly veiwing as it went past my work place at Jindalee, 17 Mile Rocks area, which must have been shortly after you had sold the vehicle. I know from the pics, it looks great, but, from also hearing, it sounds awsome. Most certianly have been keeping an eye out for it.

    I've got a LOT of 80s Ford fox manuals including EVTM (78-86 and a few Mustang from later); 98-2001 Mustang, the mid-1980s Ford Engine training manuals (HUGE manuals that cover CFI/EFI with thorough descriptions of each item on the engine at idle, part throttle, and full throttle, as well as other temperature and load conditions where appropriate, vacuum connections, and so on) and a lot of the body/chassis manuals. For later years I have a lot of really useful driveline manuals.

    I'd gladly mail them to someone and cover the return shipping if they could be scanned and hosted. Otherwise it will probably have to wait until I've retired...
    PM me if interested, I don't want to sell these because I want to make them available for everyone; I just don't have time to scan or work as a library.
