They are generally fairly expensive compared to say, a Chilton's/Haynes manual, but buying the Ford Shop Manuals will provide the greatest detail and instruction on how to do this. The manual set, or maybe even a Ford Shop DVD, may be for sale on eBay somewhere. If not, usually Ford parts departments can order them for you. On something like this, I'd say it is worth the money to have the best option available to you.

Are ALL the grounding wires connected, power wire to starter. Might try tapping the main relay box located behind dash above left foot while in driver's position. Go online to see what it looks like so you don't beat the heck out of your cruise control or some other device. You have to tap it while someone is trying to start the car to diagnose or loosen the connecting bolt to pull it down within your reach.

It sounds like the choke may not be opening completely. Check the choke tube from the choke assy. to the exaust manifold. The tube often breaks off at the manifold. There was a repair kit from a co.
called toke.(it was the 60's)The part# was ux-1 it had a new copper tube+sleeve and a fitting, that you would place over the broken piece in the manifold tap
it with a hammer and it knocks out the old + installs
the new fitting. Push in the new tube and install the
other end into choke assy. If it's an elec.choke check
the voltage at the wire to the choke assy. it should be between 7-12 volts, if not check for a fuse in line or at
the fuse block. I don't recall exactly where it is. But if
neccesery you can run a new wire with a 20amp in
line fuse, from the choke plug to the S(stator)connection on the alternator. This will provide enough
juice to expand the bimetal spring in the choke housing. And only when it's needed. When the engine is running..Also the choke can be adjusted
whether it's the tube or elec. You can adjust the choke spring by turning the black plastic cover.
There should be 2 arrows pointing clockwise+counter
clockwise. After the choke is fixed you can fine tune
it by loosining the 3 screws and turning to rich or lean as needed. Hope this helps.

Check the crank end play and make sure any thrust bearings are in place. You do have the cover on right? Never looked in one of those but also check and see if there is supposed to be an oil slinger on the crank in front of the timing gear.
