#101 of 133 Mopar V-8s by argent Oct 30, 2002 (3:08 pm)
The LA-series 273 probably weighed about 525 lbs., I'd guess The similar 340 engine, introduced for '68, was quoted as 539 lbs. with a single four-barrel carburetor. The LA series 318, added in '67, was about the same, maybe a bit lighter (less beefy casting, lighter crank). The earlier A-series 318, introduced in '56 as a polyspherical head on the smaller original Hemi block, was not a thinwall casting, and weighed about 55 lbs. more. At one point around '65 or so Chrysler was planning to discontinue the 318 entirely, leaving the 273 as the economy engine and the B engines (361/383/413/426/440) as the step-ups, but I think they decided the 273 didn't have enough torque for the bigger intermediates and standards, so they upgraded the 318 instead.

Hi all...looking for a repair manual for a 1966 Ford Falcon. Does anybody know where I can get one (and not on CD)? Thanks Replies to this message: andre1969 (Oct 11, 2006 4:13 am) Mr_Shiftright (Oct 11, 2006 7:03 am)

Replying to: dirt41 (Oct 10, 2006 3:12 pm) eBay, maybe? I'm sure that something like this would probably pop up at a large swap meet, like the events they have in Carlisle, PA. I'm sure there are plenty of on-line vendors that carry that type of stuff too.   Maybe try going to www.google.com and searching for "1966 Ford Falcon Repair Manual" or something like that? Might return some useable hits. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 11, 2006 7:03 am)

Replying to: andre1969 (Oct 11, 2006 4:13 am) yeah, eBay definitely.   Also go to www.hemmings.com and check classifieds under (I think) literature. There are certainly dealers around the country who have this manual.   Last resort--find a Ford or Falcon club...these clubs often reprint factory manuals if there is enough demand. You can also find these clubs through hemmings.com or google.

Replying to: blown62falcon (Dec 31, 2006 11:48 am) Hi and welcome to the forums!   Best thing to do here is start your own page on Edmunds' www.carspace.com and show your great little car there. We generally don't allow private phone #s to be posted here since we can't verify them.   Good luck with the sale,   MrShiftright Host
