Parts Numbers - Ford Special Service Tools

 

The information presented on this page is an 'supplement' to the How to Decipher FoMoCo Parts Numbers tutorial.
 

The following numbering system is used for Ford Special Service Tools:

  • Ford tools carry a four character prefix, four or five digit basic part application number, and a one to three letter suffix.
    Example: T65P-18805-A (Radio Tester, All 1964-66 Car)
  • Tools formerly sold by MANZEL-BUFFALO carry a prefix of "TOOL", but otherwise follow generally the same format:
    Example: TOOL-18918-A (Radio Antenna Nut Wrench)
  • Lastly, a few former MANZEL Air Conditioning tools retained their "ACM-57-f" or "ACL-53-f" MANZEL part number, with a suffix of "TOOL", or a three-letter designator ending in "TL":
    Example: ACM-57-2-TOOL (Universal Halide Leak Detector)
 
TOOL YEAR APPLICATION BASIC NUMBER DESIGN SUFFIX

L= Cars & Trucks
N = Lincoln
P = Car (All, including Thunderbird)
