5402010GC is the 750 Mighty Demon Carb. I have the same one on my 406.

Actually, if you go to this BG page, it will give you the stamping number location and codes of the BG carbs:

http://www.barrygrant.com/demon/default.aspx?page=38

You identify the carbs by visual clues (for basic model type) and by the code in the carb. The complete part number is not stamped into the carb.

I went to the webpage, but I could not find exactly where the suffix is stamped on the carb. I know for a fact that it is not BC. I am pretty sure it is GC, but I would like to find it on the actual carb. Anyone know where the stamp is located??

GC = General Competition

If it is a 750 Mighty Demon:

1) It will have mechanical secondaries
2) The Venture size is 1.40"
3) If you remove the metering block and bowls the emulsion bleeds will be non-removable
4) The boosters will be non-removable
5) The air-bleeds will be removable

Thanks for the reply!!
my brother bought the carb and he says it is a mighty Demon 750.
It does not look like a speed or roda demon. (does not have that piece on top for the choke)
I think it is part number: 5402010GC, but I am not positive.
I think the GC is casted on the carb somewhere, but I have no idea where?
Thanks,
Joe

To identify the application type (drag race, blower, general comp, etc.)the two-letter code ("GC", "BC" etc) will be stamped into the top of the main body next to the secondary vent tube.

I just called my brother, he is going to check the code and call me back.
If he can find it, I will have an answer in ten minutes or so....
Thanks for the clarification Lars.

NO luck!!
my brother looked at it, but could not find anything.....
He said there was a "40" on top, but I think it refers to the size of the venturi diameter. (40 = 1.5")
I will check it out when I get home....
Thanks,
Joe
