The A-Series engine, first installed in the Austin A30, came to its own as the power plant for the Morris Minor. As it was further developed, the A-Series grabbed attention for its performance potential in 1959, when a revised version was launched with the Mini. First published in 1985, this essential reference for A-Series owners and tuners is updated to include the latest developments in engine technology'. All aspects of tuning are covered in detail, including filters, carburetion, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, exhaust systems, camshafts, valve trains, blocks, cranks, lubrication systems and pistons. In addition, there's information on tuning for economy and increasing engine power with nitrous oxide injection. Many new illustrations include specially drawn diagrams and charts.

David examines the fine points of carbs and intake manifolds, looking for the smallest of modifications and upgrades which often result in large performance gains. Includes Carter, Holley, Predator, Weber, Dellorto, end Mikuni carbs, dozens of factory and aftermarket manifolds, intake velocity stacks, ram stacks, test results, tunnel ram intakes, etc.

A comprehensive guide to choosing and prepping camshafts and valvetrain components for high performance and reliability in all small-block V-8 Chevrolet engines on the road, racetrack or dragstrip.

David Vizard explains the science, the function, and most importantly, the tuning expertise required to get your Holley carburetor to perform its best for your performance application, whether it's street, strip, supercharging, or race applications. Holley has been a best-selling subject for years, and this much-needed update will guide you through the traditional 4150 Double Pumper, Dominator, and 4160 vacuum secondary models, as well as all the recent releases from Holley, including the Ultra Street Avenger and Ultra HP Series Carbs.
