Transportation Books

My three year old loves this book. The book is simple to read & the pictures are very eye catching.

THis is one of the BEST books for early readers. Many common words are repeated. I have many books from various early reading programs(some have too many difficult words and too many different words) and this is one of the best. The vocabulary is limited, just what a new reader needs. My 4 year old can read many of the words.

Thomas the Tank Engine books and DVD's are the best, and kids love them. At 2 1/2 years old, my grandson is a little frightened of the stories on DVD, I think it's because of the intense facial expressions (I'm sure he'll outgrow it soon), but he loves the books.

My son loves this book, and constantly brings it to me to read. It's such a simple book, I think he can understand it easily. I'm guessing before too long, he's going to be able to almost read it on his own. I think it's a great book for beginning readers. I'm not very concerned about the message that it sends, I see it as an entertaining Thomas story. I just don't see it as a negative book.

Great pictures, but did Donald Trump write the story line? The books ends with a smug Thomas exclaiming "I am first and you are last!"

What do you get when you combine cars, dogs, Spanish and books: A book my two year old loves and I love to read to him. Its a classic in English my only complaint is there are not enough good translations or original books like this to keep our Spanish library stocked with fun interesting titles that I don't have to make up the words for. A must have.

This is a really great book, and my children love it in English. In Spanish, it just doesn't present enough vocabulary, and the verbs are all in the command form, which is a pretty complex tense. I would choose a simpler book for toddlers or young children. If you want to TEACH Spanish, and not just read to them and hope for the best, a good interactive workbook is Flip Flop Spanish, which includes a CD.

The tense forms of this book make for an awkward read. There are better simple board books. A better book is Good Night Moon (Buenas Noches Luna).

Kirby did an excellent job writing about a super race car driver and a super nice person. I was both saddened and happy that Rick retired when he did. I think he could have reached the magic number 5.

Not too much details but if you have a little clue of what you're messing with, it will help a lot!

I am convinced that the positive reviews his written anonymously are by Seloc representatives. I own an 8hp and a 115hp Mercury.

This manual is almost completely worthless when it comes to specific details. Because it covers so many models the level of detail is very limited. Also there have been numerous times when the information provided is not accurate. It has been rare that I started a job and got any real benefit from this manual that was not quickly available by Googling (eg. wiring diagrams.) On almost every difficult job I had to resort to further research because this manual did not provide the answers I needed. Save your money.

dont waste your money on the online manual version of anything seloc.
the pictures are small and dont correspond with the model that youve chosen, the info is generic and useless. "be safe when changing the spark plugs", they have a no return policy, better off to just stare at your motor and hope the answer pops into your head than to waste your money on this product.

This manual doesn't cover everything in finite detail but it is thorough enough that you will be able to figure out the rest. It was good enough for me to replace the water pump and seals in my 175HP Merc Lower unit with no previous experience with boat motors.

The book tries to cover too much with little detail. The information on my 40 HP Outboard did not match the electrical or fuel system. Pay the extra money and get the service manual for your Outboard.

I purchased the Dodge Caravan 2003 thru 2006 so that I could
change my Brake Pads. The information was complete and easy to follow.
I saved money by doing the work myself.

Since Haynes now publishes the Chilton manuals, the contents are exactly the same which is misleading. I wasted money by buying both manuals.

Not Mugh Here, information is scant, lacks detail, content and so on... I've found sales flyers more informative...

Nice pictures, and enjoyable to read. But as an actual reference for restoration it is pretty lacking. It varies from being either too general, or in some instances specific to a particular model that you don't own. It either assumes you are a competent backyard mechanic, or that you are new to turning wrenches. The author has apparently never restored a tractor himself, but he has interviewed at least two hobby restorers, and apparently has watched them do a few.

I would rate the book higher (at least 3 stars) if it wasn't titled as an "ultimate restoration" reference. It isn't.

This book give a very good overview of what to expect if you've never done this kind of work before. It is not a step-by-step road map on how to do the work, but it'll give you an idea of what is in store for you. It's a nice read to get you psyched-up to start a project.

What a great book. My stepdad was rebuilding the carb in his 81 Vette, and he's been a mechanic for 35+ years, and was struck. he asked around for this book, and I was able to get it on Amazon, a week later he told me this is the best book he's read on any car part. Great instructions, walks you right through the rebuild, perfect all around. If your looking to rebuild your Rochester carb, this is the book to get

I just wish there was more information on the dual jet. I race an IMCA Hobby Stock and we are required to run an OEM 2BBL carb and finding tuning tips and performance ideas for them is almost impossible. There is some info in here on them and it is the best I have found.

That being said I run Qjets on my street cars and this book is awesome and loaded with info and tuning tips for what is probably the most tunable carb ever made.

Rebuilding a Rochester can be a little intimidating. Let's face it, you can't successfully work on something that you don't understand. If you read this book before you begin, you will understand what the function is of every part that you'll see on your Qj. If you've rebuilt a few Rochesters before and need to fine tune a Quadrajet for a performance engine, this book will answer most all of the questions that you might have.

Roe does an excellent job discussing carburetor theory. He shows clear, large photos of each carb circuit. The choke system on a Quadrajet can be very complex, so I've found myself pulling this book off the shelf time and again and using the excellent illustrations to figure out just how the linkage is supposed to go. He also included a helpful section on building for performance, and fixing idle problems associated with long duration camshafts.

This appears to be the later version of this book. Therefore, it also contains tips on rebuilding the dreaded "CCC" or feedback carb, also know as the electronic Quadrajet. The first version had more information on the 4GC and 2G carbs, but there is still some information provided on each.

I would like to point out one area that I disagree with the author about. Unless you are doing a concours restoration, avoid the 1965 - early 1967 Quadrajets. First of all, the pressure regulated fuel inlet valve (a deviation from a normal needle and seat) is unavailable. Most people won't even know what you are talking about when you mention it. A conversion kit to convert to a conventional needle and seat is included with most rebuild kits, but Roe recommends avoiding these. Secondly, it appears that the "issues in the field" that he mentions, were probably engine fires. Not something that I want to take a chance with.

Roe's work on Rochester carbs is important because the Rochesters, especially the Quadrajet, are vastly underated. There is a very good chance that you could run a Quadrajet on your vehicle and gain fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. In this day and age, that is no small consideration. On a 327 I've run three Quadrajets (#7045263, 7043250, and 7029207) against an out of the box fresh Holley 6619. The best Quadrajet, which happened to be new also, beat the Holley on an identical course by about two miles per gallon with no perceived loss of performance! My motivation to run the Quadrajet came largely from Roe's book. If you would like to read more about the Quadrajet - Holley comparison, type the carburetor numbers and Holley into a search engine.

Having read just about everything in print regarding Rochester carburetors and having rebuilt somewhere between fifty and one hundred Quadrajets over the last twenty years or so, I strongly recommend this book. In short, if I was looking to buy a book on Quadrajet carbs, this is the book I would buy. Roe does the builder a huge service with the many photos he uses to accompany the text. He also gives excellent tips on how to handle some of the more difficult tasks involved when rebuilding a Quadrajets as well as things to look for when troubleshooting. You will hugely increase your chances of a successful Quadrajet rebuild if you read this book first.

This book is excelent, starting with basic explinations of how carburetors work, moving on to detailed instructions on how to rebuild, tune and modify for performance or economy Rochester carburetors. A must for the GM HotRodder.

This book did not provide the basic tuning I was looking for. This book provide good technical information on carborators and modifications. Doesn't tell me how to adjust things like mixture, speed, choke and vacuum related stuff.

Great manual as haynes always does. If you are a do it yourselfer or just want to learn all about your vehicle so you dont get hosed, this is the book. If you dont own alldata, this is the cheaper route and almost as good.
