Can anyone suggest a good overhaul book or manual or perhaps a web site for a performance rebuild that would include modifications such as air bleed drilling andpower valves and such. Can't find a good carb guy and I seem to be finding more and more that if you want something done right... you know what you have to do!

firechicken, if you are talking Rochester, the Doug Roe book 'Rochester Carburetors' is as good as it gets. Haven't found a book I like on Carter (other than some of the internal Carter documents, which are not to my knowledge available), and don't do Holleys. Jon.
