Interceptor Tech Manuals - 60s

Heck, Im not even sure what you need a manual for. A little bit of Marvel Mystery oil and some ether, that thing will be running like a top!

Tim- I reviewed that one before posting here. On pages 1 and 23 is lists the different HP options, but they all say 289 for displacement. So, I fgured it was not the correct manual.

In the picture of Reid's manual in the very fist post of this thread, it lists 260 on it.
Early 60's Ford small blocks were the Y block and not the V which I think the 1966 260 is.

Yeah- I'm trying to be optimistic here Tim.
If anyone has a good quality engine rebuild manual for this 260, I'd love a copy

Thanks fellas

Brad, I like your optimism

I dont think Reid's manual covers the 260 Ford, but I think the 1968 Interceptor Manual in the ref section does. I believe the 260ci is the 165hp model.

Reid, You know when you clean out the garage and 2 weeks later you need something you through out, Well, 2 weeks before this (your)posting, I ordered the manuel for my 312 from marineengine.com. On top of it, it's nothing but a copy of the real thing!!

Steve, You're welcome. And thanks for the positive feedback.

Riley,
Just send your USPS mail-to address to my office email, "reidp@bellsouth.net", and I'll get one out in the mail to you. Thanks.

I'd like one, and I'll add another $10.00, too. Thanks.

Why JMurph, Is that your nice and polite way of calling me a greedy opportunist? Well you don't need one yet, but you may when you get that really old boat you're hunting, and your manual will cost YOU a $50 donation to the Site. OK, maybe you missed it above in the original posting, but I will be sending it to Keith to add to the Ref Sect. I've also got a neat HM manual covering multiple engines, which I'll send in as well.   

Reid,
I'll take one! I'll go the ten plus spot another ten for this great site! Thanks for the offer!

ReidP....nice one! Any chance you have anything on the carter side draft carb?

I have a marine shop manual for the Y blocks 312 etc...that one is available upon request for any members!

Reid....I will take you up on your manual/donation offer!

Many thanks!

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a '62-'65 vintage INTERCEPTOR Marine Technical Manual. I've had half dozen nice spiral-bound, heavy covered copies made and in lieu of attempting to sell them, I'd like to offer them up to anyone free from me but with a $10 donation to CCFan. I've already sent one to Paul Waters (67Nautique312). The engines covered include:
6cyl- 144ci 85 HP
      170ci 100 HP
8cyl- 221ci 120 HP(orig engine 289-302 family)
      256ci 135-150 HP (1st in Y-block family)
      272ci 170 HP (Y-block)
      292ci 185 HP (Y-block)
      312ci 215 HP (Y-block)
      352ci 240 HP (FE big block series)
      390ci 260 HP (FE big block series)
      390ci 300 HP (FE big block series)

The manual covers Specs, Maint scheds, Trouble shooting, Laying-up and fitting-out, and also the Dearbornmatic transmissions. If you'd like one sent out to you, just send me an email to "reidp@bellsouth.net".

EDIT: And for those in dire financial straits and in no hurry whatsoever, I will indeed be sending a copy to Keith to add to the REF SECT, sometime in the future.   But the saleman in me beat the philanthropist to the plate.
