The book you want is "Let's Tune Up" by John Travis. He describes his pinblock dope formula on page 275. Here is it: 1 pint of glycerine, 1 pint of denatured alcohol and 3 tablespoonfuls of powdered resin. I'd have no problem finding denatured alcohol, but a source of supply for the glycerine and powdered resin might be difficult to find.
