Gary Lewis Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Today's addition to the library is the 1980 Service Highlights booklet on Engine, Emission & Related Systems. It is listed on the page at Library/Annual Service Literature and, like the one on Climate Control Features, is courtesy of Paul/Rockhauler. Thanks, Paul! Here’s another addition to the Library/Ford Training Manuals list: https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/electronic-fuel-injection.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 Here’s another addition to the Library/Ford Training Manuals list: https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/electronic-fuel-injection.html. I have the spark plugs out of Big Blue and the new ones on order, so there wasn't much I could do today but either clean the shop or scan documents. But I hate to clean the shop so I scanned, OCR'd, and put 6 more documents in the library with a total of almost 500 pages: Electronic Fuel Injection - Operation & Diagnosis: This is a 79-page 1987 publication where the one I scanned yesterday is from 1989, so they include different info. And for our trucks this one may be the better of the two. Electrical Systems - Reference Book: This is a 179-page training manual that provides a good background in how the electrical systems on our trucks work. Automotive Electrical Systems Review: This is just a 43-page review of that 179-page manual, but it might be good enough to give anyone a better understanding of the systems on these trucks quickly. Automotive Measuring Devices & Systems: 91 pages which cover the description, selection and use of various automotive measuring devices. It also contains descriptions of pressure, temperature and distance measurement systems applicable to automotive concerns. Fastening Devices & Torquing Techniques: 47 pages covering torque wrenches, bolt strengths, torque sequences, etc. Automatic Overdrive Transmission Operation & Diagnosis: 107 pages that covers the operation & diagnosis of the AOT/AOD transmission. It includes a general description of the transmission and in-depth descriptions of the torque converter, planetary gearset, hydraulic system & schematics, and a diagnostic section. And I revised the pages of the library. The main library page, the one you get to by clicking Library, has Jeff's pic/cartoon, a note on how people can get documents to me and what ones we don't take, and links to the other pages - the ones in the drop-down menu below Library.

Gary Lewis Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 My goodness, you've been busy! Thanks. Lots of good documentation there. I've tagged my grandson as I know he will want to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viven44 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Thanks. Lots of good documentation there. I've tagged my grandson as I know he will want to read it. That is excellent reading material for just about anyone!!! If I had the time, I would read all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 That is excellent reading material for just about anyone!!! If I had the time, I would read all of it. There is a lot of overlap in these so it is hard to recommend exactly which ones to read. But there's a course outlined in most of them and I'm thinking that I'll get my head around it and see if I can outline it so people see a way through them. But I think that is going to point out a lot of holes in our documentation. So maybe if we have operating money left over at the end of each year we might buy a few of of those if we can find them. How does that sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Turbochargers, hmm I think I've heard about them, sort of like this: Garrett T04 unit used on the Carrol Shelby engineered Turbo Chrysler engines in a blow-through system with intercooler. Yes, sort of like that, Bill. Got a pair on Blue and another pair on Janey's GLK. But they are buried pretty deep so pics aren't easy. Got 4 more training manuals scanned today for another ~400 pages. So we are pushing 2000 pages in the last few days. Here's today's haul: Non-EEC Related Driveability Diagnosis: How to find a problem that isn't related to the EEC system. Covers vacuum, ignition, mechanical, & air intake systems - and more. Electronic Steering & Suspension Systems: No, this doesn't pertain to Bullnose trucks but it is interesting nonetheless. Distributorless Ignition Systems: Covers the history of ignition systems including magnetos, breaker points, solid-state systems, EEC/Electronic Engine Control, TFI-I, TFI-IV, & DIS/Distributorless Systems. And since this discusses the SHO engine I'll tag Chris/ctubutis. Compressor/Clutch Overhaul - Ford Dealer Installed A/C Systems: Explains how to overhaul the compressors used in the dealer-installed A/C systems. This includes the York & Tecumseh 2-cylinder units, Frigidaire 6-cylinder, Nippondenso 6-cylinder, & the Ford FS-6. In addition it discusses several competitive systems, including GM's CCOT (Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube), GM POA (Pilot Operated Absolute) Valve-in-Receiver (VIR), Chrysler's Cycling Clutch and Low Pressure Cut-Out Switches, and those of American Motors Company (AMC). I have ~20 more that I got from the lady at church, but I don't think I'll scan all of them as several of them are for vehicles or systems that don't apply at all to the Bullnose trucks. (Yes, I know DIS and electronic suspension and steering don't apply, but they are interesting. Don't really see the 4EAT transaxle theory & operations all that interesting.)
