I'm pretty sure Holley purchased Barry Grant. The Barry Grant semi is now parked in the Holley parking lot beside the Holley semi.

BG is back in bussiness and owned by Holley but it is a separate sister company known as Demon Carburetion. Their phone # is 270-438-2038

I remember when Barry first started selling the Speed Demons ppl. were having lots of problems with them. Did this get fixed? I have a Holley 750 mech dp and an Edel 750 mech dp, I always wanted a Speed Demon for my engine.

I have a Speed Demon 650 double pump on my 61 with a 383. Great carb. I haven't even had to adjust the idle in about 6 years. Some of the early ones had some metal shavings from the machining process that would inevitably find their way into the smallest areas and cause idle/low RPM stumbles. Mine was no exception. Once cleaned out it is probably the best carb I have ever had on a Vette. Great throttle response and reliable.

Holleys are great carbs as well but it's nice to see Demon as part of the Holley company
