For the most part I guess it would be okay for "Joe Average" (me). IT is lacking in a few areas, such as the pics of sparkplugs that look like the same pics fot the 1967 mustang. IT is not a pic of an HT1........lol. And I could never for the life of me find out what the factory timing is set at.

Does anyone know if there are shop manuals that are up to date, that will not cost an arm or a leg?

Since these cars are all "Fly by Wire" there is no factory timing. Its always a moving target.

I bought the 2005, 2006, and 2007 versions. With the GT500 info, all on ebay on DVD.



You can usually get a disk on there for like 35 bucks. They are factory manuals.

.... And I could never for the life of me find out what the factory timing is set at.....

the timing moves due to the variable cam timing

stock timing at .2 load to 1.99 load at 65000 rpms (load goes 2,3,4,5,8,1.1,1.4,1.7, & 1.99)
16.000000
25.000000
34.000000
42.000000
46.000000
