I bought mine from an online dealer on ebay and got free shipping and a free fuel line for the price most mail order charge for just the carb

If I recall correctly, I believe the thread on the BG is different from a Holley so even if you have a fuel line on your Holley it my be useless on a new BG

I bought my demon carb and my BG Six Shooter from a guy off of ebay (actually sounds like the same guy Smokedtires used) His name was Rich Disbiens.....I would search ebay for demon carbs..he normally has a load on there...and they come with fuel lines which is great, awesome service and quick shipping and he was $250 cheaper on my six shooter than Summit.
