This manual is divided into five volumes: 1 — Chassis, 2 — Engine, 3 — Electrical, 4 —

Body, 5 — Pre-delivery, Maintenance and Lubrication. These volumes provide Service
Technicians with complete information covering normal service repairs on all 1975 model
vehicles built by the Ford Motor Companies in the U.S. and Canada.

Information in each volume is divided into groups covering a general system. For easy
reference, information in each group has been broken into smaller units or parts. There is
one part for each component within the system as well as a general service part for
information common to several similar components. Page numbers indicate this division.

Example: (Group ll-(Part) 02-(Page) 21

Page numbers are consecutive within each part.

The table of contents on the first page of the volume indicates the groups contained in each
of the five volumes, and a tab locator is provided for finding each group of that particular
volume. The first page of each group has an index to the smaller parts, and the first page of
each part contains an index with page location for each service operation covered.

The descriptions and specifications in this manual were in effect at the time this manual was
approved for printing. Ford Motor Company reserves the right to discontinue models at
any time, or change specifications or design without notice and without incurring obliga-
tion.
