4.0 out of 5 stars How to identify and tune a holley., June 1, 2006
This review is from: How to Build a Power Tune: Holley Carburetors (Speedpro Series) (Paperback)
This book is half identification and half tuning. If you don't know what a parts is, what part a tuning book refers to, or what you just bought at a swap meet this is the book for you. Excellent color photos with arrows to highlight. Also includes normal tuning information.

I was not impressed with this book.

This is geared more for the expert than a novice.
