This book tells you how Holley metering systems work, has a graphical carb size selector on page 76, gives manifold characteristics, holley carb tuning info, has exploded diagrams, and a disassembly chapter with pictures. This would be a decent rebuild guide.

Well, I bought this book mainly because I was installing a Holley analog Pro-Jection TBI fuel injection system. It covers many holley carbs from 2 barrels, 4150's, 4160's, and 2 and 4 barrel pro-jection. I was surprised slightly that they didn't cover the "economaster-4360" but then again, this carb has been out of production for over a decade. It would have been a PERFECT book if it covered the 4360 but overall. This is a very worthwhile book, whether you are looking to learn about Holley carburetors or fuel injection.

This book is the most complete book on Holley I have seen.
The book explains what things are and how they work.
I buy alot of HP Books and read them till the binding wears out.
If you get a chance to buy it buy it.

I used this book to complete my first carburetor rebuild. It helped me to identify my specific carburetor (in order to obtain the kit) and walked me through the rebuilding process. It included key adjustments, pictures, and detailed instructions.

The book also contains the history of carburetors as well as how they function--an interesting and technical read for people who want to learn. I knew very little about rebuilding and tuning carbs, but now I feel as though I can talk about them (and work on them) with some confidence. This book was a great investment--especially for Holley carburetor owners!
