Is it a genuine Ford manual, or a Gregorys/Ellereys/Haynes one?

If so, it's probably not Ford mistaking a trans cooler for an A/C condensor...

Its also not an EF/EL front end.

Pretty sure the Ford manuals of that era dont have actual photos- well the ones ive got dont. They are all drawn diagrams.

On closer inspection, I *think* its a scanned copy of an ellerys manual......

My excuse is I'm in seppoland and its taking it toll.....

It's an Ellerey's I've got it.

There's a LOT of mistakes in it. I've got a Haynes as well, it's much more accurate, but has less overall detail.

I have a Gregorys for my EL which has been great. I got an Ellerys for my BA because the page count was so much higher but have found it has a huge number of mistakes and typos!
