Years ago Ben Staub made the very best reproduction of the original Model A Service Bulletins. Every once in a while they show up on ebay. I bought a set about 15 years ago. These are a bit high, but if you want the best, here is a set now on ebay.

REMEMBER, service bulletins/service letters were written a LOOOONG time ago & "some" of the info may NOT be valid now???
I even read, in the Service Bulletins, to be sure to put the PARK brake on, before you wash your car???---Were they afraid it would RUN away, like a Dirty Old Dog???
On a serious note, when Chief worked part time for the Ford Dealer, he said they learned a lot of stuff, "BY THE SEAT OF THEIR PANTS", before some Factory Bulletins had been issued, on some of the "problem" jobs!---Wear & tear & abuse caused some of these "problem" jobs.
A tree fell on the back of a Four Door, he cut it off & made It a TRUCK, "wonder" what the frame was like???

Every time i open the book there is something new to learn. The wealth of information never seems to end, as on page 514 it tells about the problems with using REPO breaker points on the market and the issues with them. The illustration shows how to spot OE genuine ford points by looking for the trademarks stamped into them.
It seems we still have these rubbing block wear problems today on certain ones3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

When I got my first Service Bulletins I went page by page through the whole book, but still find so many things that I just glossed over and forgot.

My book is like the one on the left. Copyrighted by Dan Post in 1972. Has the name, T. Nugent & some fan belt numbers written inside the front cover. Got it from Guru Claude (RIP!), he found it behind the back seat of a Tudor he once bought. He'd NEVER sell me ANYTHING, but he'd GIVE me ANYTHING, what a Guy!!

I should have bought that back in '74 but $30 was a lot of dough for me back then, looking back. Trying to work part time and go to school full time.
Kind of like we should have bought that tan Ford service jacket/smock that was being sold a few years ago, with the red Ford script on the back, they are gone now. I saw somebody wearing one once at an antique car show and thought that looked neat!
