Manuals?

[Ian Cowie]

As I have mentioned, I have no manuals for my car.
I have ordered a "technical manual" from Books4Cars but it is backordered.

Are there other suppliers out there that I can order manuals from?
I noticed a CD is available with several items. Is this worth buying?

Thanks
Ian

Give this a try http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1956-...823154002r9106
$49.00 on fleabay right now. Also on Rockauto.com they list a MarkII shop manual for sale for $28.79 Lincoln>1956>Mark II>Literature>repair manual. Listed as " 1956 LINCOLN MARK II 6.0L 368cid V8; Literature;Repair Manual They show a picture as well but it almost looks like a Lincoln manual.

Don,
I just bought and received this manual. It's not bad and is 324 pages so it's full of stuff. It's an obvious reprint of the real deal but set up for Continental mechanics at a dealership.
Upside - Lots of pictures, pretty good explainations and good data sheets in the back.
Downside - Almost every repair or re-build shown is shown with special Lincoln (I would assume) tools noted and numbered as if they were laying around in my garage. LOL

I too have that manual and it is a great source of information. However, one more shortcoming... it's solely 1956. If you have a 1957 there is no information on your Carter WCFB carb, paper cartridge air filter, etc. Otherwise excellent.

One thing I've never seen or recall seeing mentioned is an owner's manual similar to whats in the glovebox of a modern car. Surely something like this was provided in a car that expensive. Does anyone have one?

[Barry Wolk]

Yes. They come up on e-Pay every once in a while. I was given one at a Concours by one of the judges. He knew I was going to be at the show and brought it with him. It's a welcome addition to all things Mark II.

Barry, Is it easily identifiable as for the Mark II so I don't mess up and get one for a 56 Lincoln.

[Barry Wolk]

The Lincoln book used a different star on the cover.

Originals are quite expensive on ebay (one listed currently for $409). I found a reprint for $20 from Faxon. Nice to have while you search for an original.

When I bought my '56. I opened the glove box, and there was the original owner's manual in pristine condition...It's hard cover, and had the original owner's name printed in gold letters on the front.
