The front half is identical to the 850 four barrel so jets and stuff are all interchangeable. They`re 3160 carbs so the secondary side has a metering plate with drilled jets like all the 60 series holleys and you can NOT swap it over to a metering block because the booster feeds are closer together than the four barrels.

don't see why it wouldn't work just as good as a 4bbl. The rear butterflies have just been coverter to one single flap. Just make sure it will work on your intake. That rear door night get hung up on a standard 4 hole or dual plane intake.
obviously you never tried one. it has horrible street manners. sec.vac signal is weak, an all-round dog of a carb.

nope never have, but then again I stay away from vacuum carbs anyway.

Weren't these a "loop hole" carb for Pontiacs in NASCAR?

There's a write-up in the Holley manual against using those gears on carbs. Thier reasoning is that they will bind up over time and that could be when your at full throttle
Just a thought... Those gears look to be 1:1, so im sure a simple linkage could be made to do the same thing in place of the gears.

I had one, just looked at my Holley stash, must have sold it. Did find a really great small block bracket carb I forgot I had though, a 780 vacuum secondary double pumper. I think they only made these for a little over a year sometime in the mid 70s.

i had one on my street/strip, mild 440 powered 4000 lb.'82 D-150, it ran flawless high 11's on pump gas through the mufflers on ET streets.(best of 11:69 @ 112 with a 1.59 60') it was the 950 version. i got the carb for $20 at the indy swap meet. it was missing the "mouse trap" choke & the 3barrel specific vacuum can (didn't need the choke anyway). i bought a rebuild kit for it & along the way i discovered that a 3310 750 vacuum can would bolt right on, so i used that along w/ the holley quick change spring cover. i also plugged the secondary metering plate & then drilled & tapped it for std. holley jets. & replaced the stock accel pump w/ 50cc version. i would not hesitate to re use this carb on my current project in my sig. pic., but it is gonna be blowthrough turbocharged & vac. secondary carbs don't work in that app., so i ended up selling it
