in USA yours is different. I think U have the econo &/or sp?
David'n Bill R some of THE Best !
1) is at the blue box, top of this page, click where the crossed screw driver/wrench are.
free, fun, extensive. I like reading the whole thing. Use that till -
2) go online there (as suggested) w/a bank card #: "The Ford 'Falcon' Six Cylinder Performance Handbook" order it (20 $ USA?) and while waiting continue reading the 'tech archive' for free. BTW: David has some good info in 'the Handbook' on the "Argie" ('72 - '81) motor U have. Matt also has higher quality alu heads than U may find than Argie heads 'after mrkt". They R new and cast in Australia & shipped 2 him here.Too expensive 4 me.

Haynes & Chilton are 2 USA publications we use (shop manuals). The best is the Argentinian Ford specific Dealers shop manual (way more expensive and probably out of date but use in-country internet to them find locally).
Next, we have a more (we call yours South of the Equator) specific forum on this site for non-USA engines (still i6) for Ford Australia and Ford Argentina products:
viewforum.php?f=3
There's not as much 'action' there, but is more specific to your sp iron and alu heads. You're, of course, welcome here too!
Lastly we C irregularly posts and even vids of guys frm ur part of the world ( further south) on this forum and our site. U should hook up w/them for real info from face to face encounters w/those local to U. They can really help out even beyond us.
I'm jealous of ur 'removable intake' model but glad U showed up. Post me if U wish @ my mail (see my url in my signature below) for help if stuck w/sourcing the literature. If the search function fails to help U locate posts frm ur country men I may B able to locate them on here 4 U.
W E L C O M E !!! hope U stick around & find it worthwhile.
