Always used Holleys for the last 25 years, next time I need to buy a new carb I'm going to try a Demon.

I like Carter thermoquads and Edelbrock Performers. But if I was in the market for a 4bbl these days it would be a Demon.

Got a Holley or 3 but covet a Demon

(But just to display in the Lounge

)

The Demons get good reviews and look a bit cooler than the Holleys. Neil at USA Imports stocks them, with one on show at the Nats everyone was cooing over it ...

On the other hand Holleys are well catered for at any American parts place.

Three Holleys - nothing less

Trev, Holleys are fine... if you don't mind:-

having to drain the float bowls every time you want to change jets

replacing the float bowl gaskets every time you want to change jets

losing/tearing the little rubber O-rings on the fuel transfer tube

fuel spraying all over the engine when you adjust the float bowl levels

replacing the power valve if the motor backfires

...get an Edelbrock Performer

I'll stay out of this disscusion

I will say that we will stand by any Demon we sell, can't be fairer than that

Aah, but a Holley's got character...

Kev · Post by **Kev** » Mon Aug 08, 05 6:41 pm

Yeah, but a pig's also got character but you wouldn't find me putting one of those on my engine

It took me months to correctly tune my Holley six pack.
