Anyone know of a good book on rebuilding the quadrajet?

I though I could rebuild the quadrajet during christmas, so I would need a rebuild kit of course, but it would be even nicer to know what to look for, and knowing a bit more of carbs in general.
All of my cars up until now mostly had mechanical injection..

So do you have any recomendation of a book about the carb on a -87 lg4?

If it's big differences on the rebuild kits, I can take a hint of the better ones on them too..

Theres a guy on ebay that sells instructions on how to rebuild q-jets. It comes with pictures too, I think it was like $5 with shipping.

"Rochester Carburetors" by Doug Roe.

Haynes repair manual on Rochester Carbs.

Both are very good books. The section on the CC-carb in each is small, but adequate. The rebuilding part is in the general section, the adjustments are in the CC section.

I am not talking about the Camaro/Firebird repair manual. I'm talking about a Haynes manual dedicated to Rochester carbs.
