carb rebuild book

Post by bigredball90 »

Im looking for a book on how to rebuild a carb. No specific brand. Basically im looking to learn more about carbs over the summer in my spare time. Would like to be able to rebuild them and make some side cash eventually. Any suggestions would be great as well.

This subject has been brought up before. Holley used to have some good rebuild guides. I don't know if they're still in print but I believe they are available for download. Carter and Rochester also had repair guides. Autolite and Motorcraft units are covered pretty well in FoMoCo shop manuals. I'd suggest running a search for service literature on various makes and see what comes up. :)

I have a book called super-tuning and modifying holley carbs. It has a whole section explaining each part of the carb and what it does. Its been a good read for me thus far
