I took apart a 15 year old Holley today, thinking I could make that base plate work, no go, and it did have the teflon/nylon bushings your talking about......
From what I can see on the Demon, there is/was no bushings of any kind, steel shaft going right thru the aluminum base plate, maybe explains the wear problem.... All though the carb is 4 or 5 years old, it has spent it's entire life on my race car, probably 10 to 15 running hours per year, so, that's not much use.
I figure I've put the same total amount of running time on my 65 fastback/street car per year. Been driving it since the mid 90's and the third hand Holley on it now has been on it for at least ten years and probably 10 years before that on a 67 fastback before I got it. I know I have not touched the carb in the last 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
