If you absolutely can't get a factory manual, use a Mitchell from a
library -- much better than Haynes or Chilton.

www.fordforum.com should be useful, especially about any
particularities.

If you bleed the brakes by pumping the pedal, don't pump it down any
farther than it normally travels or the seals will scrape against the
rusty, debris-filled part of the cylinder and be ruined. Even pumping
just 3/4" is enough to bleed the brakes.
