Need a Service manual!

[hardtorn]

Were can I get a Service Manual for a 1994 SHO?
When I ask about it at the "autozone" parts store.... he he
They can only find a normal Taurus service book.
And the dude working there said "this one is the only one there is. It's the same for all the 1994"
AAAAA OK.
Not!

Ok the guys are gonna heckle me for this but you can get a Chilton (8251) 26700 it covers all Taurus's even SHO's. I've used it and it's helpfull. I've heard some of the guys mention another one and hopefully they will indicate it in this post and where it can be purchased. As for the Chilton I either got it at O'Reilly or Pep boys.

The Ford Service manual is the most common and most helpful although it appears that they hired an achololic monkey to organize it. Anyhow I have a Ford service manual for 1994. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them here or hit me up on AIM. My screen name is Cashconv07

I have also had great results from the Chilton's manual. I have both an old and new version of the book. I still refer more frequently to the old one because it has much more detailed electrical schematics and system test descriptions.

The only thing you have to watch out for in the Chilton's manual is that it incorrectly shows the plug wire order on the coil pack. It should be

I think Helm's is the most commonly recommended here. I have the Chilton's and for the most part, it is good. My only complaint with the Chilton's is that it centers around the standard Taurus and so sometimes leaves out schematics of the SHO which are different from the standard Taurus (not always, it usually does have them). If you're not very mechanically inclined, such as myself, and so don't allready basically know what you're looking at/for, this leaves you to some possibly detrimental guesswork.
