Does anyone use this for their BII? I have an '85 and wonder if the information is worth the price, I have used the site before and it was good for a newer car.

If I were you I would just get a Haynes Manual off ebay (I got mine for 5 bucks with shipping) and also this free forum...beats the hell out of 30 bucks a year.

I use alldatadiy at my repair shop for newer cars as well. It is $30 or $35 for five years per car. Since using it I've sold all of my old worthless chiltons/haynes manuals at the local swap meet. As far as I know, the information is based on the factory service manual, so it is hands down more accurate and contains way more information than a chiltons or haynes manual. Or better yet, spend around $35 on a used factory Ford service manual. They are all over ebay.

alldata is just an electronic and searchable shop manual. The Haynes and Chilton manuals are sometimes confusing and incorrect. You are better off with an actual shop manual or alldata. There's another one as well http://search.ebscohost.com/.

This is true as I use a friend's alldata at his shop & can be very helpful-

Maybe that's it, I may have messed it up when I posted. One or the other works though LOL.
