It is Doug Roe's rochester carburetor book. Any corvette supply house should have them and sometime I have seen them on the book rack at Pep Boy's and other parts stores... May I suggest going to www.corvettefaq.com and getting Lars Q jet paper and tunning guide.. This info is Better althought it would nbe nice to have both.

Lars has written an excellent paper on setting the choke. If it's not at corvettefaq.com, drop him a note and he'll likely email it to you.

I don't believe the choke paper has been posted by any of the tech sites - it's only available by request.

Rochester Carburetors by Doug Roe. I usually see it on the rack about every other trip to Barnes and Noble.

I purchased Doug Roe's book and also sourced Lars rebuild paper. With both of these items I was able to rebuild my Qjet without any problems. Lar's paper provided additional information that the book did not contain. Both items are a must for any rebuild.
