Introducing the Demon 98:

The Demon 98 is a retro two-barrel high-performance carburetor that fits the thirties-style three-bolt intake manifolds of vintage engines: Flathead, Y-block, Hemi, or Nail-head. It is a replacement for the Stromberg 97 or the Holley 94.

  • Compact side-hung float bowls promote multi-carb installations. Though the Demon 98 can be employed singly, it is usually configured in multiples of three.

  • Carburetor towers accept 2-5/8-inch period-style air cleaners or air horns.

  • The '98' is available in two configurations: one functions as a primary carburetor with choke mountings (either electrical or mechanical), an idle-speed adjustment, and an idle-mixture adjustment. The other operates as a secondary carburetor with neither choke-mounting facility nor idle-mixture adjustment. This arrangement is similar to the successful Triple-D SixShooter induction system.

  • Each Demon 98 carburetor is rated around 205 cfm with fuel bowls operating at 6 to 7 psi of fuel pressure

  • Uses commonly available service parts, including standard fuel bowl and metering-block gaskets, jets, power valve, needle-and-seat assemblies, air bleeds, and accelerator-pump diaphragms and nozzles (squirters).

  • The '98' achieves higher performance by using contemporary designs of air-entries, air-fuel circuits, and boost venturii. Accelerator-pump circuits have interchangeable nozzles (squirters): the wilder the camshaft, the greater the need for larger accelerator-pump nozzles. Adjustable air bleeds provide a means to adjust fuel curves; thereby, improving throttle-response, fuel economy, and power output. The removable carburetor tower provides easy access to these components.

  • Progressive linkage kits are available in varied rod lengths to accommodate different manifolds and numbers of carburetors.

  • The chief differences between the Demon 98 and the Stromberg 97 include the design of the acceleratorpump mechanism and the operating fuel pressure. The Demon 98 accelerator-pump arrangement has interchangeable nozzles, which can be switched to suit newer designs of camshaft, cylinder heads, and intake manifolds. The operating fuel pressure of the Demon 98 is around 6 - 7 lb. per inch compared with 3 - 4 lb. per inch of the Stromberg.

  • The Demon 98 is available in a standard gold retro look. An optional chrome finish will be available at a later date.
