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!

Shop Manual Scanning Project

Post by Dan Szwarc »

I was hoping that members of this forum would be willing to help me gather shop manuals for our cars for The Lincoln Foundation's archive.

If you could loan me your manual, I can scan it for the archive.

I take the shop manual, chop off the binding, scan it at high-resolution (400 dpi, greyscale), save it to PDF, then have the paper manual spiral bound.

Anyone who sends me a manual to scan will receive of copy of it on CD/DVD and the MPCs as a thank you.

These are the shop manuals I DO NOT have
  • 1956 to 1958
  • 1960
  • 1961 (I have low res, need high res)
  • 1962
  • 1963
  • 1965 (I have low res, need high res)
  • 1968
  • 1972
  • 1975
  • 1976
  • 1978


This is what I DO have:
  • 1959
  • 1961 (low res)
  • 1964
  • 1965 (low res)
  • 1966
  • 1967
  • 1971
  • 1973
  • 1974
  • 1977
  • 1979
I would like to get all manuals from 1956 to 1979 for the archive. Newer stuff is harder to scan and usually available on CD already.

If anyone want to help by loaning me your manual, I'll scan it, and return it spiral bound. I may have it for a few weeks, though. Also, if anyone has anything else cool to be scanned, like schematics, or vacuum diagrams, or HVAC diagnostic manuals, I'll add those to the library.

Dan, I have the following:

1967 factory service manual
1967 Lincoln/Mercury Supplement to Factory Serice Manual - Vacuum System Diagnosis Guide
1967 Lincoln/Mercury Supplement to Factory Serice Manual - Automatic Temperature Control Manual
1967 Large Wiring Diagram Book (size is 11x17 HUGE!) - this manual has the Falcon, Fairlane, COmet, Mustang, Cougar, Mercury, Thunderbird and Lincoln diagrams in it.
1967 Carb Adjustment Manual - not very helpful

Let me know which ones that you want and I will send them to you.

I don't have any 67 stuff except an odd AC service manual. If your's doesn't look like this, then I would like to add it to the forum's collection.

If you would like to send it and can spare it for a few weeks (I never know when I will be able to get something scanned), then I would be happy to accept.

Be aware that for manuals that have a lot of pages (over 30), I have to cut the binding off. I have that done at Office Max and then have them spiral bound when done. In the end, you end up with a nice foldable version of what you started with. It's actually quite nice.

Alright, I can send these out. I do not have the manual above so I will send everything. Will be interesting to see how I can send this huge 11 x 17 book. I'll get the stuff in the mail this week.

If it's Truly 11x17 and not bigger, I can scan it. If it's one those big ford 18.5X24s, I can't do it. Confirm the measurement before you ship.

I'll PM my address.

Dan, I think I sent you that 61 manual, I noticed you have low res next to it, If you like I could scan it with a better resolution if you like?

I would be happy to scan it and get a better copy.

I recently acquired some really cool and bizarre stuff from 1974. It will take a while to go through it. Stay Tuned.

He's already got mine, although, yours might be in better shape.

LithiumCobalt... your list had a "service manual" and I thought it might be a different book than the "shop manual", Thanks..

Sevrice manual and shop manual are interchangeable.

Thanks for the offer, Danny. I'll let you know if I have trouble scanning the other one. It is a bit beat up.
