    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    Sounds good. Is that a situation for percussive maintenance?

    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    Alright, so I watched the videos. They were helpful to refresh me on the various circuits. I loved the part where the record had to be flipped. My how times have changed as far as media. As for the secondaries, here's a pic. You can see how, even with the curb idle adjuster pulled completely...

    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    Vacuum in idle in gear with the idle at 800-900 rpm is about 9". If I increase idle speed to 1200, I can get up to about 12" of vacuum, but I don't like having it idle that high. Initial timing is 16 degrees. When I turned initial timing to about 22 degrees, is when it idled at 1200 and also...

    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    Thanks. To clarify a few more items: The Speed Demon has a curb idle screw that is adjustable with the carb on the motor, it doesn't have the screw on the bottom of the base plate. This one is pre-Idle-Eze, so it doesn't have the screw at the base of the air cleaner stud. TBH, I don't intend...

    Is this Demon just junk or am I just junk at dealing with it?

    I have a 650 Speed Demon. It used to be the primary carburetor for my car, and after getting tired of screwing with it, I changed it out. Since I've been getting some quarantine projects done I decided I'd try and get this thing reset to factory and see if I can at least make it a...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric Delete

    Thanks, but I'll just order the kit that Plymouth 65 pointed to, Amazon can have it to me on Wednesday. So I guess I'll just use the deeper cup and send it. :)

    Thanks, do you happen to have the part number? Summit's website really isn't optimized for finding the set. edit: of course...found it right after asking. Is this the kit? Dura-Bond Engine Hardware Finishing Kits FKP-1

    Fuel Pump Eccentric Delete

    I have the cup washer and it's on there. I just don't want to put the eccentric back on. The ultimate question is does the 1/8" or so thickness of the eccentric matter? The car is a race car, it goes everywhere on a trailer. I'm over mechanical pumps. The plumbing is now set up for the...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric Delete

    Quick, stupid question from someone new to an electric fuel pump. I have the timing cover off my 340 to replace the gaskets, and I just put an electric fuel pump on the car, eliminating the mechanical pump. At this point, I no longer need the fuel pump eccentric and would like to remove it. I...

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    Thank you. How did you solve it? I'd rather the car not idle at 1500 or so if it can be avoided. Did you just bend the linkage as the guy whose time I am wasting suggested or was there another way around it?

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    I will take a video of the linkage activation. I'm glad I can help you waste your time. That's pretty rude, jmo. If you don't want me wasting your time, feel free to not post in this thread.

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    Yes I'm aware. The vacuum leak was below the carb, so the carb had to come off. Before the carburetor goes back on the intake manifold for anything, it is going to be set the way the factory recommends it or until someone can tell me this situation is normal. Nothing from Holley or Demon...

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    It is a 4 corner, it is a 650 cfm Speed Demon. Everything I see (and talking with Holley tech support today) they say the secondary idle slots should be invisible from the bottom. I'll probably just have to try it.

    Carburetor Idle Transition Slots

    After getting to the bottom of the last issue, I yanked the carb off so I could reset it and go from there to make sure the idle is dead right next time. When trying to set the idle transition slots to the .020", the primary went just fine. However, I can have the secondary curb idle screw...

    Idle help

    I think we narrowed it down to a leaky base gasket. The one under the carb spacer want looking the greatest. I took it off, rejetting, then we will see how it works. Thanks!

    Engine: 340, .484 mopar cam, 650 speed demon, edelbrock ld340 intake, headers, x heads. Trans: 727 with 3200 stall converter, standard valve body. Car is idling at about 2000 when in park, but put it in gear, and it idles nice and crisp at 850. When trying to accelerate, if I go hammer time on...

    Airtex ?

    They are alright, I sell them all day at Advance, but don't expect to see 7 PSI on a decent performance build. I threw one on my 340 as a temporary to get it somewhat tuned, and the most I have seen is 3.5 PSI with a 3/8" feed line.

    CARB SPACERS

    Generally, the idea goes like this: 4 hole is better for low end because it makes hte airflow more directional Open is better for top end because it flows like crazy. I have a 1" aluminum open spacer on mine, because I just can't fathom putting a 4 hole on, since in my mind, it just...
