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
