Chris B: 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

Carl-Dave Tremblay: Merci mais, dans les 3 manuels que j'ai acheté sur les Rochester,
aucuns ne me donne les informations que je désire, soit pour un 4MV à remonter originalement,
sans modifications que ce soit.
Un très bon manuel pareil.
Merci.

richard trella: This is a very detailed review and history of the Rochester carburetor. The function of the carburetor is explained in detail. I didnt know many of the functions the carburetor performs, like turning on and off the egr system and preventing timing advance till some what high rpm is achieved. Even the early sixty and seventy's carburetors are very complex pieces. If you have a classic car, its important information. The book does not include much set up or trouble shooting information , which is a loss. The reader has to understand the contents of the book and form his own opinions on problems ---- which can be very difficult. I need a trouble shooting book to help sort out different functional problems. A word to the wise ---- have a good rebuilding shop work on your carburetor. An improper rebuild can cost you your engine. Best regards.

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 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 book
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.
