Any suggestions for good reads on carbs in general? I was looking through the chiltons carb rebuild book at pep boys and it looked pretty good but my experience with those is that it looks comprehensive in the store but when you go to use it the info you need is never there. Thanks guys.

The Chilton's books leaves performance information out - try a swap meet where there are some publication vendors. I have one book that doesn't have a copywrite date but it has to be '60's by Hot Rod Magazine titled "Hot Rod Carburetion and Fuel Systems that is pretty interesting in 'old school' multi 2 barrels (forget about single barrels) and shows 4 an 6 carbs on Edelbrock or Weiand log manifolds.

If you want carbs, this is a photo of a 270 GMC pictured here and taken a couple of weeks ago at the Petersen Museum in LA. These are all Stromberg 97's. There are a few other similar examples there as well.
