Shop / Service Manual
I need a shop/service manual for my 1989 aerostar. Im looking for factory-authorized. I know of only one source-- Helm, Inc. but they're out of stock for about 3 months now.
Anyone knows where I can buy? URL?

Ebay.com is loaded with factory manuals for all years. I've purchased several, all less than $25 and in excellent conditon. Go to Ebay.com and type aerostar in the search box and it will take you to all kinds of aerostar goodies.

Would you be so kind as to look up the location of 4.0L block drain plug? I'm trying to drain the fluid without cutting a hose.

As AeroColorado mentioned, eBay is a source. Whether it's a good source, I'm not sure.
The last two '89 manual sets there went for $66 and $46. I know, because I bid on the first set, and actually won the second:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1040579221
1989 seems to be a popular year. Other years of Aerostar manuals don't sell for quite as much.
The price I paid + shipping is OK for a two-manual factory set, but not stellar, though I've paid over $100 for factory manuals in the past.
It hasn't arrived yet (it will get here in the next two or three days), and it won't cover the 4.0l engine, of course, because the 4.0l wasn't offered in '89, so no, I won't look up the block drain location for you
There are only about ten decent sources for automotive manuals in the US.

I just went through that on my 93 4.0. I have rear air and heat and there is no block drain. They used the block port to rout the rear heater through. you just have to keep cycling through the radiator.
