Most Helpful Customer Reviews 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Weber Theory is this books strength, March 5, 2000 By  Paul Zimmerman (New Richmond, OH United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: How to Build and Power Tune Weber & Dellorto Dcoe & Dhla Carburetors (Speedpro Series) (Paperback) I just purchased this book and the Braden book. I felt that the theory portion of this book was outstanding: it even compared the Weber systems to SU carbs in one area - the object was to reinforce there are multiple ways of achieving the same objective. I felt that the section on disassembly/assembly was not quite as strong as the Braden book - but if I ever tune my car for more serious racing - this is the one I'd come back to. Overall - well worth buying.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
