Can anyone tell me where I can get information or a book that will give me specs on Rochester carbs (jet sizes, metering rod sizes) by the carb #?

Eckler's sells a book titled "Rochester Carburetors".

The caption reads "The complete Rochester book! Q-jets, 2 barels and Mono-jets are covered with 832 photos and 296 pages. Ranging from lo-buck street rebuilding tips all the way to all out racing applications."

The book is item # A4005 and lists for $16.95

I have no idea if it's any good or not, but I think I'll check my local library first. When I went looking for a book on my TH350, they were able to get one from a local college tech library. Good book that came in handy for my Shift Kit install. Maybe I can get lucky with this one too.

If you have (or anyone else has) this book, I'd be interested in hearing opinions about it.

The Rochester Carb book does not have that info. Try getting Lars on this forum. He has a great amount of info on the Quadrajet. Just email him and I'm certain he will send you the info you need. He has help a large number of people on this forum, including me, giving explaination on how the Quadrajet works.

Roger, is there anything useful in that book?

Mike79, you may want to look around the Web for info. Here's one link I found a while back, but it's more about adjustments than pure specs (http://vetteworks.tripod.com/Qjet.htm). From what I've seen in other threads, Lars is definitely "the man" when it comes to Q-jets. Maybe after I've taken the plunge and "fixed' mine :rolleyes: I'll look him up for some help.

Evidently refers to the book by Doug Roe. It is very good & rec. to anyone interested in Q-Js. Most of the book is on Q-Js. We have had several topics mentioning it. The info. asked for is not in it as Roger stated above. Some carb info. is in manuals, available from Chevy dealer & on this forum by listing carb info.!

Have some Q-J carb specs.

:cheers:
