Here's the rub-------------- You must push the car up to 35-mph,start the engine,engage the transmission,and drive 35-mph.You can't go slower,you can't go faster.There is no "transient" driving,you can only drive at a constant 35-mph.------------- And that's the price of these fabulous "vapor" carbs.------------- The book was about $13 US 20-yrs ago.I don't know if they are still in print.A great waste of $13.

Lindsey books still has a huge amount of their catalogue in print, so you might be able to still get it. Not that you'd want to by the sounds of it...
