Looking for a copy of Bob Gerometta's Oldsmobile Engine Modification and Tuning Guide - V8 Engines fm 1964 - 1978 I have found a couple of parts of the book in PDF on line but would like to have a full hard copy. Have checked eBay and Amazon. Anybody have one you would part with or know of a current source.
Thanks!

Thanks for that info.
Hopefully an original will show up on eBay or Amazon someday.

I'd suggest writing to the Spencers. Maybe they found a few old copies in the corner of the attic or something.

I did receive a nice email from Bob.

I have donated the book to the Automotive History Preservation Society - a 501 c3 not for profit - as a way for them to raise money to support their cause. If you want a copy of the book, go here: www.ahpsoc.org and Join the Society. Click on the gold "Join the Society" button and become a dues-paying member. The book is now in PDF and downloadable from the site – and is FREE to dues-paying Society members. If you join the Society, the Administrator will send you a link to the book pages and you can download it.

That's excellent that you got a copy. $35 isn't much more than I paid when I ordered it from Bob years ago.
