With all the bad reputation stories about Demon carbs I would stay away unless it's a deal you can't refuse Holley 750 DP carbs are pretty easy to find used Gus

There is a reason he is selling it.... most of the times it was because BG stuff was bad... usually a quality control issue... I dont buy BG stuff due to that

i have a mighty demon on mine. it's a good carb, once you work out the kinks (it only took a few years). my pump squirter holes stripped out, and i found a supplier in florida who had the appropriate inserts (the only supplier in the country, far as i know). like all bg carbs, it was FULL of metal. i've seen some with cross threaded jets, throttle blades installed upside down, it seems their problems are usually assembly related. i've done a bunch of them, from speed demons, all the way up to race demon rs. they always have metal in them, and some kind of assembly error.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

I have heard all of the horror stories also about BG. I have a 1090 & a 1290 King Demons & have never had any problems with either one. Now that Holley owns BG most everything is available for them again.

Sounds like I'll be passing on that one. Thanks guys.
I have a 750 3310 vacuum secondary holley that they sell a conversion kit for at speedway for like 130 is this a reasonable option? I'm just a broke college student or I would just go by a new carb...
Conversion kit for a rear metering block? If so, you can piece that together for much less than 130. Probably 30-40 bucks.
