Authentic Ford manuals can be gotten from your local Ford dealer. If they do not list any stock for the manuals that you want (as in my case) they will, can, should direct you to the licensed distributor of these out of date publications. I purchased a complete set for my 73 for around 65.00. While a CD is very convenient it cannot replace a book. As you know a book will operate anywhere with or without power.

I was sceptical at first also of the cd version, but have grown to love it, as the pages get greasy,, I print new ones

I don't see the link to the CDROM.
How are the CDROMs organized?
Are they basically PDFs of the manual? (Which I would prefer)
Or are they "reorganized?"

the cd-rom is produced by a company called "detroit iron" they are not pdf's. They use a "different" format, kind of a pain, but I believe they do it to attempt to prevent pirating. They are scans of the original manual, and organized in a manner that makes it easy to find what you are looking for.
FWIW, I think it was worth the money for the wiring diagram alone.

The online store has changed substantially since the original date of this thread (2003).
