Rochester Carburetors, Revised Edition

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 Haynes Rochester 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 Haynes 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 did not mention 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. Roe was better organized in this regard. The pictures in Roe are better, and the high quality paper makes it a little easier to read and handle as you work. If you are doing a QJet rebuild, Roe is your bookI 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.

Great book on quadrajets, if you're looking to buy this for information on other Rochester carbs, you may be dissapointed. It has some info on them, and a decent but short section on tuning 2G's, but not an overwhelming amount. Great companion to Cliff Ruggles book, with some conflicting ideas on tuning (which in my mind is good), meaning that there's no single right way to do things, as these are both proven authors. Definitely a must buy if you're looking to rebuild Quadrajets correctly

If you are rebuilding a Rochester carb, this is the book for you. There is a TON of good info. It would get 5 stars, but my specific carb was omitted, leaving me wondering a bit on some of the electric portions of the carb.This book does a great job explaining the function of the parts of the carb, which is a great tool to diagnose problems.

A great source of information on Rochester Carburetors, especially the Quadra-Jet. Many tuning tips and performance modifications included in this book. I purchased this for a friend who is a retired Oldsmobile Engineer and worked on the cars during the performance era.

It's the best book on Rochester carburetors, Doug Roe is sharp!

Very detailed. Necessary if you want to adjust or rebuild your carb.

Very useful

I was doing a repair on one of these carburetors for a friend at work. This book helped me realize what I had (a later model electronically controlled version) and how difficult they can be to repair even for individuals that have much experience with Q-jet carbs. This book helped me decide to purchase one of the older non-computer controlled carbs and put it on this truck.

Ottimo compendio ad altre pubblicazioni in circolazione lo raccomando per chiunque abbia interesse ad approfondire le proprie conoscenze in materia

Good for dummies like me that have no idea what they are doing. Very informative, good way to get a grasp on a 4 barrel

Très complet . Très bien expliqué.

Good book, has some good info but it does’t beat Cliff Ruggles Q-Jet book

Product came very quickly and it was everything I expected.
