Carb Rebuild Manual

[Cubman]

My truck is not running, and I need to rebuild the carburetor. The truck is a '78 K10 with the 400sb. The carb# is 15057213. I am trying to find a very detailed manual to help me rebuild the carb. Does anyone know where I can find one? Advanced only had one for holley carbs. We also have O'Reillys, AutoZone, and NAPA, but I haven't checked them.

Doug Roe's Rochester Quadrajet OrCliff Ruggles. Try those authors at the library

I am pretty happy with the Haynes Techbook Rochester Carburetor Manual by Mike Stubblefield & John Haynes. Used it for my '86 Quadrajet. I don't remember where I got it.

Thank you for all the info and the link. I rebuilt the carb and got it back on the truck. Now gas is leaking from around the accelerator pump shaft that comes out of the top of the carb. I replaced the seal that came with the carb kit. What could cause this leak? Did I miss some kind of seal that the shaft goes through at the top of the carb?

My opinion is float set too high.
