This 1955 Ford Passenger Cars Including Thunderbird Shop Manual provides complete service information for all 1955 Ford Passenger Cars and the new Ford Thunderbird. Step-by-step procedures for trouble shooting, cleaning and inspecting, repairing, and replacing the various parts, assemblies, and systems on these vehicles are presented here. This manual also contains maintenance and lubrication data as well as a tabulation of service specifications. Detailed illustrations of many of the service operations are given here. Disassembled views of the principal units show the various parts in the order of their disassembly or assembly. In many cases, a glance at these illustrations will tell you all you need to know about how the parts go together.

The material presented in this manual is arranged in five main parts as listed in the Table of Contents on the following pages. Under each part, chapter headings covering the major subjects in each part are given. The section headings under each chapter title indicate the subjects covered in the chapter.

Part ONE—POWER PLANT—has to do with the 6 and 8-cylinder engines and the various systems that are necessary to their operation. These include the fuel, ignition, and cooling systems.

Part TWO —ELECTRICAL AND ACCESSORIES—covers all of the electrical systems and units (except the ignition system) and all of the accessories (except the Overdrive and Fordomatic).

Part THREE — BODIES — contains information on the maintenance and repair of all body components, including adjustment and alignment of doors, hoods, and fenders. In addition, window glass adjustments are given in this part.

Part FOUR—CHASSIS—contains information on the entire power train (clutch, conventional transmissions, Overdrive, drive lines, rear axles, etc.) and the running gear (frames, springs, suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, steering gear, steering linkages, etc.). Service procedures for the Fordomatic transmission are published in a separate manual.

Part FIVE — MAINTENANCE AND SPECIFICATIONS—gives complete maintenance and lubrication information, and contains all the specifications necessary for the proper servicing of Ford Cars.

Throughout this manual, the top of each left-hand, even-numbered page gives the name of the chapter, and the top of each right-hand, odd-numbered page gives the name of the section involved on the page. Thus, wherever you open the manual, a glance at the top of the two pages will tell you exactly what subject matter is discussed at that point.
