Good to know. That kit is just over the line from what I was willing to pay so I'm resisting temptation. . . I'm hoping it skyrockets in price so I don't have to think about it anymore.

Not just at idle, across the rpm range. Annulars are... better, unless you have a downleg carb and are trying to justify it to yourself. The only downside to an annular is that they block more airflow than a downleg carb, but even so they more than compensate.  Also, they make more power. Yes they do.
BTW, my point was only that identical motors, both with race demon carbs will need different size jets and air bleeds if one demon is an annular and the other is a downleg.

Ben, if the kit you are looking at is being sold on E-Bay, send the guy a reasonable offer. I find that sellers on e-bay don't like to haggle and if you aim too low they'll tell you to get lost, but if you push them within their limits they'll accept your first offer.

It's on eBay going through a regular auction. Here it is. My limit was $1,100 shipped so $975. This is just north of that now. I'll keep it for reference, if we can't find parts next week, maybe I'll contact the seller and make an offer close to today's auction price for the same thing.

I do have downleg boosters on the Holley 850dp on the Chevelle but I don't have any issue with throttle response. However, I would love to see how it would respond to a carb with annular boosters. Maybe I'll upgrade the carb when I pull the heads off and port them. |

I know one guy that did the mod on an 850 double... I think it was. He said it was the best carb mod he's done.
But I don't think you'll ever have a throttle response problem on a 10 second car. Haha.

Thanks for your effort. There are at least three options still open, roughly in order.
1 - We luck out at the upcoming Swap Meet and find what we need.
2 - My brother dimensions a new part in Solid Works and my uncle machines it.
3 - Go to a good welder fabricator and have them piece what we have back to working order.

That's pretty much covers it. I still haven't talked to the truck fab boys yet.
