    You would be correct in that a lot of guys put a carb that is too large on a motor and it does not perform. Our patented air entry is not just making a carburetor larger but involves the shape of the air entry area. This allows the air to enter differently than a carburetor that has a disruptive...

    Here is a little video showing how the testing is done so maybe it will help in understanding what actually occurs during a wet flow test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XREjAZpf1kE

    btw, The holley rating is still a dry-flow rating . Take the dimensions on their 950 and compare it to that of their 850 and see what you come up with and then ask well how can a 950 with a smaller venturi and butterfly then their own 850 be rated to flow more? We are the only company out there...

    You can spin/interpret however you wish but we participated in that thread along with several others he posted on multiple sites and offered to get the carburetor back here and replace it no questions asked...... he never gave us the chance to do that and insisted on a refund . We do not offer a...

    We would recommend one of our 575 Speed Demons on the 302 . Depending upon transmission would determine whether we went with a mechanical or vacuum secondary.

    Actually our carburetors will flow more air then the same size in another brand because they have a patented air entry which is much like when we used to hand port the Holleys. We also use billet metering blocks and baseplates on the Speed series and higher . Properly matched with the...

    Tyler, I see you keep posting this but that problem was addressed well over a year ago and we see very few warranty returns with shavings in them now. I have addressed this on the other boards as roughly a year and a half ago we took several measures in regards to shavings. A lot of them were...

    what intake and carb should i use

    On the 306 we would use the 575 cfm carb. If you duration is under .240@50 you can use the Speed series and if it is over .240 the Mighty series. If plans are to add a supercharger or turbo later then go ahead and get the Mighty series up front to save some money.

    what intake and carb should i use

    Thanks, The BT series blow through carbs will not run on a NA motor. They have a lot more circuitry in them and move more fuel due to the needs of the bonnet vs the enclosure. The GC series carbs will run both NA and boosted however if plans are to use the enclosure. Hope this helps.

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    Not sure on the top but I ran across a pic of the bottom on one of the Cobra sites and figured I would try it.

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    There are several fitment issues that does not make this a viable swap. The other issue is our bowls are larger and hold more volume and this coupled with the different sight location can affect the calibration.

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    When you are referring to the "floats because they have been stripped at the locking nut" are you describng the needle and seat assembly or the bowl? If it is the n/s assembly those do come in a rebuild kit. The kit number for a mechanical secondary carb is 190004 and the vacuum secondary carb...

    Retrotek in Mustangs and Fords

    A new version of the VFI is currently in the development stages but there is not an intended release date right now. Also if you look at our design we have a patent on flowing the injector through a carburetor style booster which in turns promotes much better atomization then some of the other...

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    The bottom is a factory Thunderbird 3-2 bottom which sets the air cleaner further forward than the one we supply with the kit in the other pic. The top is a Cobra 2-4 with a pair of fabricated studs. Car is under construction right now as you can tell but I'll post some pics of it later with the...

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    Here's the one on mine with a few small changes for the nostalgic look. The air cleaner top looks all gold but all of the ribbing and lettering[raised area] has been polished. It's in a GT350 Hertz clone so wanted to tie the top in with the gold stripes on the car.

    Thoughts on Demon carb?

    The billet isn't really for "looks" but rather because you get a better quality part. Our metering blocks are hidden by the fuel bowls so you dont really see them. A nice advantage of the billet parts though is that you dont have to worry about porosity in the castings. Our carburetors have...

    I'd be real careful if you have some flaking. Not sure if I had posted the link to this on here but definitely worth checking out. http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/recalls_detail.aspx?id=070045T and http://www.holley.com/HolleyNews/Volvo%20Penta%20Carburetor%20Recall.asp
