Often referred to as the "Black Bible"....indispensible. Mine is almost worn out, full of greasy fingerprints! :lol: :roll:

Don't forget the DVD's put out by the club and available from the parts suppliers. Our club has a number of those that can be checked out by the members, so check your local club. Also there are a number of YouTube videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 1nA0Yctp6G

You are right - The Model A Les Anderson books are awesome ! The details go as far as telling what wrench size is needed for each operation. The third book goes into all of the common upgrades.
Never have found anything close to these for the T/TT. ;)

Ah. Takes all the fun away. Got my first T as teen, wretched on it, ground valves, changed # 1 rod before any books. Didn’t know the Service Manual existed!

Is there a larger print version of the black bible (Model T Ford Service Manual) available?
I'm 40 and also have the Les Andrews books for my Model A, and struggle reading and learning from the black bible.

Yes. Since you have a pc, buy the CD version of McCalley’s Encyclopdia

It has The Book…..(Ford Service) and you can scan, enlarge, or print to your heart’s content.
