  • A must have book for anyone that works on Quadrajet carburetors.
Format: Paperback
Cliff is a great guy that really is helpful with Quadrajet carburetors, He has an online forum where people provide solutions and help with carburetor problems. This book offers a complete description of the Quadrajet carburetor and how to modify it for high performance engines. Anyone who has ever tried to use one on a modified engine knows how hard this can be. Cliff's book makes it easier. It is written in a very understandable language that guides you through the entire process. It also explains the logic behind why you are making the changes. I have been tuning Quadrajet carburetors for many years, this book made me understand how they really work. For years I had Doug Roe's books on the shop workbench like a bible. Now we use Cliffs book as our go to book for information. Doug's books are great, but they assume you are a fluid dynamics engineer with a firm grasp on the design of the carburetor. Cliff's book shows you how to make one work, Doug's books tell you the it has been done with great success. If you work on a lot of quadrajet carbs, odds are you already own Doug's book. If you don't have Cliffs book you are missing a chapter of the story, the final one, by the way. ... show more

  • Good information, but light on details if you’re a novice.
Format: Paperback
This book has lots of good information about the history and design of the Q-Jet. I was expecting a step-by-step guide to rebuilding, but it’s more of a Quadrajet-specific guide for those already familiar with carburetors. If you’re a novice (like me) you’ll probably also want a shop manual or something a little more detailed. But overall I like the book. ... show more

  • First class Q-Jet information, well presented
Format: Paperback
I've worked on Q-jets for many years and this is a great book! Like many Q-jet fans, have always felt that it is a great carb that gets a bad rap from people who don't get how it works and how to tune one. Cliff clears up the myths, shows the secrets and explains how to deal with every circuit and feature of every major variant of the Q-jet. Great, high resolution pictures, clear, concise text. NOT a "Q-jets for idiots" book, but well within the grasp of any serious hobbyist. The section on understanding and properly tuning choke pull offs is worth the price of admission by itself! If you're considering this book because you want to build your own carb, or you just want to get a reality check about the mumbo-jumbo your supposed Q-jet guru is feeding you... I say go for it. This will be the best money you've ever spent on your Q-jet. ... show more

  • This book is very helpful to novice and pro tuners alike
Format: Paperback
Very informative, especially dealing with today’s alcohol content in fuel. I also found the base calibration listings and, modified engine calibration suggestions very helpful to establish baseline calibration’s to tune from.
