This OEM 1961 Comet Shop Manual is a high quality authorized licensed reproduction of the original shop manual published by Ford Motor Company. If it's time to spin some wrenches on your 1961 Comet, the first tool you'll want in hand is this maintenance manual. It is conveniently arranged into sections by major system.

Comet sure seems like an appropriate name for 1959, as the "space race" was going strong. As for going strong in your Comet that year, well, you had two options of six-cylinder engines to provide motivation. The first was the Thrift Power 144 cubic inch engine, with a compression ratio of 8.7:1. The other choice was the Thrift Power 170 cubic inch engine (featuring the same compression ratio). Whichever you need to service, this repair manual has you covered, from basic tune-up to major rebuild. It is packed with well-written procedures. Those instructions are accompanied by a large number and variety of visual aids. In this book you'll find illustrations, tables, charts, graphs, black and white photos, cut-away drawings and diagrams to walk you through your 1961 Comet projects. It has wiring diagrams.

This 1961 Comet Shop Manual is perfect for the restorer or anyone working on one of these "round body" Comets. Clear illustrations show exploded views as well as component details, plus specs on engine data, carburetion and more. Be sure to order this new, printed and packaged version of the same manual which was prepared by the original manufacturer and used by the mechanics back when these cars were first built, gas was about 27 cents per gallon and people were zooming off in their Comets to catch Breakfast at Tiffany's at the local movie theater, or perhaps heading home to watch the latest Twilight Zone episode on TV.
