78 Lincoln Town Coupe Documentation

This area is reserved for the ever growing need for technical documentation for our Lincolns.

You will find that stuff on eBay. A set of 1978 Ford shop manuals covers Ford/Lincoln?Mercury and there are 5 volumes and a few add-in specification and delivery guides. There is also a 1978 Lincoln Continental vacuum/electrical diagnostic manual which is model specific and will not cover the Mark V...The shop manuals cover all Lincolns, the Versailles has it's own manual as well.

The shop manuals are always for sale on eBay...don't pay more than 20 or 30 for them as they come up all the time.

Owner's manuals can also be found for a few dollars on eBay.

The vacuum/electrical manual is a little more rare, but can still be found fairly cheap.

Is there a place to buy the shop manual online? I want it for my 1978 Conti Town Car. The Haynes manual is available online to view but it doesn't help me with the problem I'm having right now. I see this original post was from 2010, I'm hoping in the last four years someone has heard of a place where we can access these manuals electronically and not have to order a book or CD-rom and have it mailed to us.

Not sure, I saw a website for the 1978 truck manual, but not for 1978 Ford Lincoln Mercury. The wiring is in a separate book.

The books are pretty helpful as you can sit next to the car with them....I guess you could use a laptop or ipad these days.

I ended up ordering the CD. If there's anything I want to have printed, I'll run down to Kinkos and have them print some of it out for me. Thanks!

Will i receive the CDs by mail, or an online URL or WeTRansfer link?
I am from Europe, so an online url access to de Manuals will be best or most cost efficient ?

You will receive a link to download the files.

I do not have 1978. I only have the years listed in the MPC link.

There are no refunds.
