Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book offers a lot of eye candy for dreaming up EFI systems to retrofit into classic rods. There is a fairly general overview of how the systems work, which is great for the beginner. This book is focused on the hot rodder, the muscle car enthusiast, and the roadster crowd. That is all fine and good, my roots are in American muscle, but it is by no means a tome of knowledge. This is not a go-to book for technical reference, but rather a primer for the classic car builder who would like to go the extra mile with fuel injection and modernized engine management. It covers forced induction, and offers a diverse set of examples from under the hood of some serious trophy-winning show cars. Lots of large, quality photographs are great for daydreaming about your next project, but warrants further reading.
The title is deceptive, it should be something more along the lines of "Electronic Engine Management in Your classic Hot Rod". Titling the book as a "Reference Manual" is a bit of a stretch. On another note, the printing is noticeably deviant in color rendition, the photos all have a strange over saturation and shifted hues. The graphic design and layout is fantastic, as is the size and resolution of the photos. I must reiterate, the graphic design and layout is fantastic. The finish quality is indicative of the publisher's choice to use a Chinese bindery to keep costs low. The average magazine print quality is far better.
If you are looking for ideas on how to create a one-of-a-kind EFI system for your classic rod, this is a great start. If you want to learn about how to build an EFI system, you will need much, much more help. Again, I cite "How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems" by Jeff Hartman as an excellent reference on fuel injection.
