This was meant to be essentially a notes post for myself, to record the tags/labels/whatever Blogger wants to call them now, that I'll begin tagging and, eventually, go back and retag my old posts for easier topical searches.
I have recorded below the categories or binder tabs found in early Ford V-8 Service Bulletins (also used in the Model A era, maybe Model T, too - I'm not sure. In searching for a link for the previous sentence, I was surprised how little I found on this topic outside of eBay listings. If you ever get a chance to see/borrow/scan/buy an original set of these service bulletins, do not pass up the chance! The repros are great, and I have a couple of sets, but the originals are priceless because of their size, clarity, and the tactile feedback you get from the (cotton-based?) paper and history they ooze.
Anyway, the bulletins were issued to Ford mechanics to update/illustrate/educate them on running changes to Ford parts and services, including some of the new, gee-whiz things like hydraulic brakes and overdrive (Lincolns) and are invaluable nowadays to understand the how and why of Ford parts when most of the original old-timers are gone.
