Be not afraid
By JWG
I'm like a lot of you shade tree restorers out there; not much I won't tackle, but certain things are a bit too scary to try. Rebuilding the carburetor was one of those things.
I bought this book, as well as the Roe QJet book just to cover my bases. If you want to try a rebuild, I'd recommend you have both books. There are some minor gaps in this book that Roe will cover, and vice versa (for example, Haynes recommends Loc-Tite for throttle body screws, which can work loose and fall in the engine, Roe ignored this potential issue). The Haynes book does a better job covering other Rochester carbs, including a side by side guide for rebuilding the DualJet and QuadraJet, though the side by side instructions can be confusing at times.
I was able to get through a QJet rebuild in a very measured, cautious six hours. The carb worked flawlessly the first time, thanks to this book.

Not for Pre-60 single barrel carburetors
By James Mackay
This manual does not cover the early Rochester single barrel carbs on 235 and 216 Chevy inline 6 engines. I suppose I could have figured that out if I check into it more carfully. When I saw "single barrel" on the cover I assumed wrongly that it would cover the model B carbs used on Chevies in the 40's and 50's. For what is does cover it apppears very will written but didn't meet my needs.

Computer controlled Rochester carb? Get this book now!
By Eric Sommer
My 1983 Trans Am still has its computer controlled carb (CCC) and this book has helped me toubleshoot and rebuild that carb several times over the last 20 years I've owned the car.
Many forums online said get the Doug Roe book. I own both and this Haynes book is definitely better if you own a CCC Rochester carb and you are keeping the carb stock or using on a mild street combo. The Roe Book is excellent in carburetor theory and high performance induction beyond a street driven vehicle but the Haynes book is easier to follow, better organized, and using it, quicker to help you tear into your stock electronic carb for repairs and rebuilds.
