    anyone know of any info with some tech n specs on 'em ? new/available ?
    had a couple guys ask me about redoing a couple of the carters at the Norwich show Saturday . one was for a nice sounding early 60's vette . oem carb I think from what he said . had some redone holleys and edelbrocks set out to sell so they were asking questions etc .

    there's a Carter Carbs book that's been out for a while. "Super Tuning and Modifying Carter Carbs", it covers all 4bbl model of Carter (WCFB, AFB, AVS, and thermoquad), I think was originally published in 1983.

    well i was thinkin of ordering a couple things needed from summit anyway so i checked :
    carter/edelbrock book , 176 pages , larry shepard , HP books
    says it covers AVS , AFB , TQ
    $16.95 - in stock
    seems like a decent reference at a fair price , in case anyone needs one .
    edit : also had a couple q-jet books , cliff's and one done by Roe . maybe get one of those also ?
