Shop Manual Scanning Project

If it is Lincoln-related and doesn't seem to fall in the other categories or you just can't figure out where to put it, put it here!

Yeah, I think I would like the '69 manuals just for grins. No car, but would like to have them anyways.

Dan,

Been crazy busy at the office and finally had a chance to go through my stuff. I know you have the 61-63 MM and supplements, but I have the 61-63 Convertible Top Repair & Adjustment Manual. I'll scan it at the office (if it's still there after Sandy) and get it to you. I also have some body diagrams I'll shoot to you; use 'em if you want.

Thanks Stu. Anything you can send is great. Just make sure that Sandy scans the top manual at 400dpi (or higher) and uses greyscale instead of black and white. Anything with color should be scanned in color. If the scanner can self-generate PDFs, that will save me a lot of time having to make a PDF from the JPG files.

I have Ford factory repair manual 1972. But I think is does not cover LIncoln completely, is it what you are looking for Dan, or is there a factory manual for only Lincolns 1972?

I don't have 72, but since 1969, Ford shop manuals were "all Ford" and that included Lincoln. Depends on what you mean by not covered completely. There are also supplemental guides for vacuum and electrical for every car, but they are hard to find.

It's very important that you scan anything in greyscale NOT black and white! B&W looks like crap and doesn't capture the details in the pictures. Greyscale has 256 levels of black and reproduces beautifully. Scan at 300 DPI or more.

File size be damned!
