There are lots of them in the MTFCA website and also from vendors. Transmission, rear end to name two.
The most used one would be the "black bible", titled "Model T Ford Service". All the vendors sell them.

Suggest you obtain a copy of Dykes Motor Manual with a Model T Ford Supplement. Good to have as reference for two reason:
1. Information on the construction and repair of a Model T.
2. Good information on the construction, operation, and theory of early 20th century automobiles.

Free parts catalogs from the suppliers (Chaffin's, Lang's & Snyder's), including Mac's (just look at). Owners manual for 1926/26 also reprint of 1927 or 1928 T parts catalog.
I have never seen a copy of this one, so is just a suggestion;

The parts catalogs from the parts suppliers are a great way to see what T parts fit where. They are a good way to learn about the parts, where they fit and the difference in the different years of a T. This is a resource that has definitely improved over the years and the are free for the asking!
