Here are several on eBay. The factory manual comes in multiple volumes. Make sure you get the "engine emissions diagnostic manual", the "electrical vacuum and testing manual", as well as the shop manual so you have everything covered. I've got complete factory sets for all four of my cars. Well worth every penny I've invested. Once you've used the factory manual you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
I got mine off of Ebay for $10. Obviously the price made me a little leary but what did I have to loose. Its on cd. Its awesome. It has everything on it and not just from a Mustang but a bunch of different models. And if its a burnt copy, they did a great job because it has the Ford logo, Ford part # and everything else printed on it. Here is a link to one from the same guy I bought from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992...007QQitemZ170055545905QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
so does helm inc publish these manuals for ford or do they just reprint the orginal ford manuals? looks like what i'm after, just wanted to make sure that these are the manuals that the dealerships used.
I've ordered my Owner's Manual from Helm. Not quite the same, I know, but it came brand new and is 100% legit. Ford part numbers and print dates, etc. No sign of a Helm brand stamped anywhere.
The link is to a free download of a limited number of Ford manuals that cover all models of Ford for a particular year. The manuals are the real thing, but in CD format. The CD format is a little odd to use, but just like anything else, it's all in what you are used to working with. I have the 92-93 manual, it it definitely has some good information in it.
I agree, that interface is really clunky and changing printers is kind of a pain compared to your basic Windows app, but it is loaded with information in a convenient format. The interface changed in the 2002 version and the newer version generates some of the diagrams in PDF format that seems to have quirks of its own.
Yeah the software is pretty lame, I have it running in a Win2000 VM, seems to work fine on older OS. Works much better if you mount the .iso file and run it frmo that instead of using the CD itself.
The 92 Mustang manual will work for pretty much any 87-93, not too much is different.
