This Gregory's Ford Falcon Fairmont XC Series 6 Cylinder 1976-1979 workshop manual, Scientific Publication No. 160, is a comprehensive service and repair guide covering one of Ford Australia's most enduring and widely used model ranges of the late 1970s. Produced for both professional mechanics and capable home enthusiasts, the manual addresses sedan, hardtop and wagon variants fitted with the 3.3-litre and 4.1-litre inline six engines, reflecting the mechanical simplicity and robustness that defined the XC Falcon and Fairmont during a transitional era of Australian motoring. True to Gregory's reputation, the text is practical, clearly laid out and grounded in hands-on workshop experience.
The manual provides detailed coverage of all major systems, including engine specifications and overhaul procedures, fuel and cooling systems, clutch, manual and automatic transmissions, rear axle, steering, suspension, brakes, electrical components, body adjustments, emission controls and routine lubrication schedules. Step-by-step instructions are supported by photographs, diagrams, torque settings and troubleshooting guides, making it an invaluable reference for maintenance, fault diagnosis and restoration work. Published in Sydney in the early 1980s, this volume now stands as both a functional technical resource and a period document of Australian car culture, and would strongly appeal to Ford Falcon enthusiasts, XC restorers, collectors of Australian workshop manuals, and anyone with an interest in the practical engineering of locally built six-cylinder cars."
