Carburetor Bible

One of the best tools in any shop is a good “Factory Service Manual”, as nothing will help you get the job done faster and better than the right information. But often these great tools fail to dive deep into the various components on a classic car.

Recently we were visited in the Classic Car Restoration Club shop by carburetion expert Scott Bares of the Classic Mechanics Garage in Appleton Wisconsin, and we couldn’t resist asking Scott if a “Service Manual” existed for carburetors to help us better understand how they work and take away some of the mystery in tuning them.

We knew Bares was a student of all things carburetion and he didn’t disappoint, sharing his insights on a few reference materials he refers to as the “Bible of Carburetors”. After reviewing these great tools, we agree and believe these are “Must-Have” resources for the serious classic car or performance enthusiast.
