Dear Mr. cuda66273,
You said:
"Please be more cautious in your statements regarding the source of parts and components and whom makes what."
and then you said:
"Yes, some parts can interchange, and we both even buy from some of the same vendors. BUT, I can assure you that we don't sell them anything, nor do we buy anything from them."
It sort of looks like (to me) that both companies buy parts from the same vendors.
All companies can and do (from time to time) experience Quality Control issues - no company or person is perfect. I have said nothing derogatory about BG or his products or company. On the contrary - I have said many NICE things about the company and products.
You said, in another post;
"I tune Demon carbs every day all day."
If this is true, then you must know that not all carbs will work perfectly right out of the box. I will say that Holley, by virtue of having been in business for over 50 years, has sold far more carburetors than has BG. They have the process down pat.
Maybe Holley doesn't buy parts from BG. (Previous post edited out of respect to BG himself as I don't want to convey information I don't have backed up) But your friend Doug seems to think that both companies buy parts from the same suppliers. I would too, if I were manufacturing a product that was so closely designed to another product that I could avail myself of the plethora of parts and components already available.
What other carbs have "dual modular float bowls" ?? I know of exactley - well - none! I wonder why that is?
Maybe BG no longer buys parts or carbs from Holley, but I know they have. I also know that I have, in my shop right now, two Holley 4150 carbs that have BG logos on them.
I have had dozens of carbs, exactly like them, through my shop over the last number of years. Same goes for Bo Laws, Chuck Nuytten, Nickerson, Carb Shop, Braswell and even my own alcohol prepped carbs that used my own cast and machined metering blocks - sold under the name of RPMS (Race Proven Metering Systems). I've nothing derogatory to say about any of these companies or hundreds more like them that ALL work with carbs of literally identical technology as the original Holley carb...
Now - lets go back to tuning and talking cars. If anyone has a problem with their Holley or BG Carbs, I am sure that there are a number of us here that would be willing to try to help..
BTW - You guys that freak over the sweet looking anodizing on some of these carbs, you should see some of the new Billet pieces offered by old friend Bo Laws at BLP!
