    Congrats on the new Grabber...

    About what seems like a 100 years ago, I had a Mav and Granada with 250 6cyl... Those carbs were always giving idle issues, needed to be rebuilt every 4-5 yr... Neighbor with a 6cyl F-100 had same problems, I showed him how to freshen up the carb...

    Yeah I am pretty sure I have to exercise patience when it comes to creating an album for viewing-when I am allowed the right to post an album I will do so-until then I don't want to break any rules! I think I can do another attachment tho....nope- sorry

    You'd probably have better luck if you post a want ad, most will hang on to their service manuals unless they are totally getting away from that vehicle... eBay or one of the literature vendors are other options...

    I lucked onto a set of '71 shop manuals at a yard sale probably 15 years ago, bought them cause they were cheap... Yeah are a year off for my car but there is such a small difference in '71-'72, won't make any difference...
