Carb rebuild book

Can anyone recommend a book for Rochester Quadrajet, I had these 2 in mind, "Rochester Carburetors Haynes" and "Rochester Carburetors Doug Roe". I need to finally sit down and figure this out since so far it's been hit and miss.

I have both of those books and the Doug Roe book is the best, hands down.

Yes, I rebuilt a '76 Caddi quadrajet. I did ask a question or two here and got good info from lars. I also ended up tearing the carb apart a couple of more times to fix minor mistakes, but the car ended up running fine when I finished.

There selling the carb book by Doug Roe here in Canada for about $19.95 when I have a chance I'll stop by and pick it up. The reason I liked that one is because it said it has about 650 photo's .......I like photo's...

Thanks

The Doug Roe book is excellent. I have it. Just be forewarned that it's VERY detailed, and in some cases overwhelms a novice like me. I muddle through it though .. and post a lot of stupid questions here too.
