4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Carter Carburetors (Paperback)
This book has helped tremendously with my Carter 9605 carburetor. I had minimal understanding of carburetor function before reading this book, and now I have a solid understanding of carburetion in general and an even more detailed understanding of Carter carburetors. Everyone knows Holleys, but few know Carters and Edelbrock Performers (which are just dressed up Carter AFB's). They're not as complex as most are led to believe. The only downside is that the chapters aren't clearly titled. Chapter 6 "Carburetor Tuning" isn't at all carburetor related, although the information is still good. It gives tips on other components of the car. For carburetor tuning procedures you have to look under Chapter 5 "Modifications". Otherwise it's a great book.

A Complete Quide of all the Carter Thermo-Quad, AFB, AVS & WCFB models. Great tips on proper selection and installation as well as modifications for performance and rebuilding. A MUST have for all Cater carb owners.

2.0 out of 5 stars
an ok book, but not exceptional,
This review is from: Carter Carburetors (Paperback)
If you've never rebuilt a carter carb, this book may be Ok. If your looking for jet sizes used on OEM applications, or tricks to make your thermoquad, etc run even better...this book has nothing to offer. No venturi size comparison, no metering rod or jet sizing, no suggestions for compensating for altitude, etc. The little sheet of paper that comes with most carb kits will give you the same set up info as this book, and its "free" with the carb kit.
