1957 Ford Car and Thunderbird Shop Manual
1957 Ford Car and Thunderbird Shop Manual. This manual has been prepared to provide information for the proper servicing of 1957 Ford Cars and the 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The manual should be kept where it will be readily available for
reference at all times. The manual is divided into 13 parts as designated on the title page. A title page is also included at the beginning of each part that lists the chapters and the sections contained in the part. The heading on each left-hand or even-numbered page indicates the name of the chapter and the heading on each right-hand or odd-numbered page indicates the section covered. The descriptions and specifications contained in this manual were in effect at the time the book was approved for printing. The Ford Division of Ford Motor Company reserves the right to dis continue models at any time, or change specifications or design, without notice and without incurring obligation. The service procedures contained in this chapter apply to all engines. The cleaning, inspection, repair, and overhaul procedures of the component engine parts apply after the parts have been removed from the engine, or in the case of a complete engine overhaul, after the engine has been disassembled. To completely disassemble or assemble an engine, follow all the removal or installation procedures in the applicable engine chapter. To remove or install an individual part, refer to the section covering the part in the applicable engine chapter. Poor engine performance can be caused by the need of a general engine tune-up, by gradual wear of engine parts, or by a sudden parts failure. A good trouble diag
nosis will indicate the need of a complete engine tuneup, individual adjustments, part(s) replacement or overhaul, or the need of a complete engine overhaul.
