Has anyone else used this? I bought one, Installed it yesterday and removed it this evening. What a waste of $30.00!

If you didn't have to use their special tool to remove the jets it would be ok. But, trying to engage this thing into a holley jet is kind of like a trying to find a needle in a hay stack in the dark with leather gloves on. It just won't happen.

Kind of along the same wavelength, how well do the "reusable" gaskets work?
I have always used regular gaskets coated in cooking spray before but I don't know if I like what the cooking spray might be doing to the insides of the carb....

FWIW thanx for the tip Ted, you just saved me some money

Marcus,

I don't know about the reusables. I just keep reusing the blue ones until they develop a leak. Works for me and it's reliable & cheap!!

Barry Grant makes some really nice rubber gaskets that are IT! They do not leak, or stick, and you can reuse them a ton.

A can of Pam in the tool box does wonders. If you can cook with it, it's fine for your carb guys! Alex
