I myself have a Barry grant modified Holley 750. It works great after replacing both floats and valves with original Holley parts and getting rid of their crap accelerator pump arms. And some actual non stick gaskets from Holley and a blow out protection valve. So yah after that they are great

There's a reason summit don't have them anymore. They just plain give holleys and four barrel carbs a bad rep. Sad to see after you known how barry grant came to be. Then went in the opposite direction they did for sure
