HowTo: Rebuild an All American Fuel-Squirter (AKA the V-8 Carburetor)

BangShift forum member John Cerone posts an incredibly exhaustive step-by-step guide to rebuilding an American V-8 carburetor.

"This shows that anyone with some mechanical aptitude, a set of basic hand tools, and a rebuilt kit can rebuild a carb on the cheap. There are certainly untold levels of tricks and tweaks to improve performance, but for a solid take on a basic rebuild of a Holley double pumper, this is the place to go. Don't fear your carb, know your carb!"

Endless photos and community advice. I can't begin to pretend I understand the in's and out's, but I CAN decipher that this is a truly fantastic resource. Auto nuts: please, enjoy.
