This book covered the history of the Carter/Edelbrock companies and the variety of carburetor products they have offered. I personally was more interested in getting my carburetor tuned and less about history and how a carburetor works...although the latter is useful information to the uneducated. The information on tuning was pretty weak. There just wasn't a good step-by-step procedure laid out. I did better by downloading the "owner's manual" on line. However, if interested in rebuilding your carburetor, the step-by-step with color pictures is nice.

This book is a good source of knowledge on the history of Carter and Edelbrock carburetors. The book deals primarily with the Carter Thermo-quad, Edelebrock AFB and AVS, and Will Carter Four Barrel (WCFB). Early chapters deal with the history of Carter and it's subsequent merging into modern day Edelbrock. Alot of good info for those not familiar with carbs, especially TQ's and AFB/AVS. Those looking for a step by step book would probably be best served with a technical manual on the carb though. Rebuilding is reserved for the last chapter or two and is, while the pictures are good, the text is a little lite in that area.

book is lacking information> it does not cover all models nor does it cover model numbers for exchanges or cross referances

Great service,very informative book for the person who wants specific information on carbs. Will return in future for these types of books.

This Book is great. It has all the information you will need for the Carter Carburetors.

This book was actually much better than I anticipated it to be. It is so full of information and the quality is simply amazing for the price paid. Absolutely a winner.

Very basic overview of the carburetors. Need to be more in depth with problem solving, metering rod sizes, part numbers etc.
