Haynes and Chiltons Manuals.

I have already checked a few nearby auto parts stores, they don't have
the manuals I want.

Pretty much luck of the draw as to what is available at any given branch but
they do have interlibrary exchange and computer catalog database.

Here another that looks like a better deal if you don't mind a little
grease on the cover:

They should be able to order them. Or you can get them from Amazon.
If it were me I'd get the Haynes and not bother with the Chilton's.

rebuild kit and some new vacuum line hoses, I am going to rebuild that
Carter Themo Quad 9342 S 2562 carburetor meself, 1983 Dodge 318 engine
automatic transmission.
Heh, all of my old auto related manuals have grime on them, from my own
grimey hands.I don't mind a little grime at all, but I don't want grime
inside of my carburetor.

repair manual, covers 1971 through 2003 full size models, six cylinder,
V6 & V8 engines. $24.99, I went ahead and bought the repair manual.
I am fixin to start working on the carburetor now.The choke rod is
broken in two pieces in the middle of the rod. it was like that when I
bought the van, I think I can braze weld it back together.If not, I will
check the local junk yards for a good one.Maybe a junk carburetor too, I
will rebuild it and keep it for a spare.
The guy I bought my van from last year, he was asking $1,500.00 for the
van.I handed him $1,500.00 he handed me back $200.00 he said, Here, buy
a spare! I reckon he knew the carburetor had some problems.

Pep Boys and AutoZone carry them, but I don't remember if Checker/
Shuck's/Kragen does. Every large new book store has them, and so do
some used book stores. OTOH Haynes and Chilton books are kind of
lousy for anything involving computer-controlled stuff (fuel system),
and I haven't seen an accurate wiring diagram in one yet (AFAIK the
only good wiring diagrams are in factory and Mitchell manuals). Those
books were so bad for my Nissan that I bit the bullet and paid Nissan
$140 for a factory manual, and I don't regret it at all.
eBay has factory manuals on CD real cheap, wink, wink.

carburetor rebuild kit for a Carter Thermo Quad 9342S 2562 four barrel
carburetor.He looked on the store computer system, he sold me a rebuild
kit for a Carter two barrel carburetor! Why, oh why, didn't I look in
the box first before I left the store? Now, I have to hitch a ride with
somebody and go back to the Autozone store.
Here is a Tip, always, but always, check the parts first before you buy
and leave the store.

I learned this decades ago. I'll bet that you did too. My guess is that
that you thought the guy undercharged you and was wantin' to make a
clean & fast getaway. :-)

the Autozone $12.95 kit.Heh, I should have known better! I am still
trying to get this carburetor apart.I have rebuilt some one barrel and
two barrel carburetors before and they all worked just fine, but this
Thermo Quad is a real bugger!
O'Reilly's guy had also told me when I was there the day before
Christmas eve he knows a guy who will rebuild my carburetor for
$145.00.O'Reilly's wants $370.00 for a rebuilt Carter Thermo Quad
carburetor.

Big mistake there, getting away with something of no use - and paying
for it!
I *really* like to have the old part in hand to compare it.
Rotors should be simple, right?
But the parts store managed to give me the wrong ones once.
For some reason my Celebrity sedan had the much heavier duty
"station wagon rotors." Good reason if you don't have the part to
have the VIN if the store uses it.
Another time my I picked up a remanned alternator for my son to put on
his '93 Corsica. Stuck in raging snow storm in the school parking
lot. Don't ask why he had to do it right there. I don't remember.
Remember that he had to get in my car 3 times to warm up his hands.
And I remember the back of the alt casing was put on 180 degrees
wrong. Another trip in the storm.

google is your friend. If it can be had, you can get it via
megabookstores like amazon or barnes'n'noble (bn.com). amazon has the
advantage of having a used book program if it is out of print.

With new cars, I usually do both. Last time around, I got the shop
manuals on ebay on CD.
Usually the shop manuals are best, but I've seen examples where they
can really suck. When I had an '85 nissen sentra, the manual would
have had me dissassemble the shifter and the struts to do a clutch job.
(step 1: remove transmission. Flip to transmission section: step 1: remove
engine.... )

My 95 Lumina had rotors two differing rotors for that year. I could
never remember if I had the big rotor or the small one. I did have to
carry that rotor to the parts store to be sure.

I have had this happen. As I recall, I undid the housing bolts and
turned the front part with with mounting ears 180 degrees. This puts the
connector in the correct location.
