I picked up a pocket Q Jet ID book, great to take to the swaps, if it's all correct that is, it lists thousands. I don't think it lists all, only 4 BBLs too, it does list replacement and Marine carbs. Other than looking up my carb, I haven't checked it. Anyone have this?

Does it list the Mopar and Ford Q-Jets too, or just the GM ones?

I see Dodge, diff Marine apps, Canadian, Packard, Checker, Ford, and Merc. So yes. Here's the book.
I would have thought AMC would have used Rochester also, but I don't see any listed.

If someone wants to order a copy, here's the info. and if you have a carb sitting in the garage, let's try the book. Someone post up a Ghost Carb, I'll look it up. Let's see if the book is rite.

I tried to link to the address listed in the front of your book, but it's a dead end. I have the big red Rochester carb parts breakdown book for looking small parts and applications up, but it must weigh at least 12 pounds. Your book would be a lot easier to carry around in my swap meet bag. Hey, it was a nice try. Thanks for that, and I'll keep looking.

I can't find anything on the book, it wasn't long ago I bought it OG Gary himself, dang, glad I bought it. I can't even find one on eBay.

I came up with this.

Rochester Four-Barrel Carburetors 1952 - 1987
by Gary Dickinson
Published 2011

isbns.net/isbn/9780982611852 (https://www.isbns.net/isbn/9780982611852/)

Says the book was published in 2011, so I doubt if your GM guy is the same person.
