Has  anybody got a copy of the Delco (or Rochester?) Carburetor Parts and

There were two commonly available references. I believe both  have been 
mentioned. There is the United Delco "Models H, HV Carburetor Service  Manual"  
Marked as Bulletin 9D-6 Models H, HV Sept. 1966 File in "D"  section Replaces 
9D-11 dated January 1960, 9D-22 Dated April 1964  - It has  a big "Delco 
Rochester" across the front. It includes assembly and adjustment  techniques, 
troubleshooting listed by type of customer complaints,  and includes the four carb 
models. 
 
The other one is the Carburetor Training Program 9.   Model H-HV Copyright 
1972 by General Motors Corporation - Marked "M9-156I" I  believe this is the one 
that Clarks has reprinted, but the one I am looking at  is an original. It 
covers all the systems in the Carbs, using some of the exact  language used in 
the other book, but doesn't deal in customer complaints and  only a little bit 
of troubleshooting. The books share almost no illustrations. 
 
I prefer the first publication. In the mid-1970's I bought 100  of them from 
GM - probably through Helms - for 25 cents each and sold them at  the Corvair 
club meetings. I am down to a couple, which I will keep. 
 
i think you can get the later manual from Clarks. - Seth  Emerson
