Is there a Stromberg rebuild book? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MrSchaeferPants · 02-21-2012, 11:17 AM

Got my truck home and started doing my once over. The Stromberg WW (23-195A) is leaking a bit here and there, has a flat spot and definitely needs a rebuild. So I was wondering if there's a good book that covers Stromberg carbs. I rebuild my quadrajet over a year ago, and I did a pretty good job with the help of a really good book, so I was hoping it'd be the same way.

Found a rebuild kit from carburetion.com for a little over $50, and I know I'd get that back after a couple tanks, and it'll hold me over until I swap in a holley later down the road.

I never needed one but you can search over at www.motorbooks.com for new.ou might also try Amazon since they sometime carry used.

I'm sure I could wing it, guess I'm just a bit worried not knowing anything at all about this carb. I'm even having trouble finding good info online.

my "MOTORS" auto repair manuals have a very nice section on those carbs good diagrams and detailed instructions on rebuilding and tuning them// the one i looked thru was a 1973 year that covered from 67-73

Thanks, I've been looking online for a used one, or reprints of the one you mentioned. I'd like to flip through it though, make sure it's the right one. Like one had a caption that it did not cover the GMC v6 engines, so of course, it's useless. Those were like a haynes though.

try your local library sometimes they can surprise you with what they have available
