This volume holds the Ford shop manual for the 1967 Thunderbird (pages 1–556) followed by the February 1968 Thunderbird shop manual supplement (pages 557–707). The 1967 part covers the two-door, Landau and four-door cars with 390 and 428 cubic inch V-8 engines and is organized by Ford group number, from brakes through wiring diagrams. The scan opens at Group 2, Brakes. The 1968 supplement is meant to be used with the 1967 book: it covers only 1968 changes, including the 429 V-8, and refers back to the 1967 manual for unchanged procedures. Wiring locations are in Wiring Diagram Manual form 7795P-67.
