You may have 'never found a need for anything other than vacuum secondaries on the street', but our favorite manufacturer (Mopar) used mechanical secondaries more than anything else. Only the later Holleys used vacuum. ALL of the Carters (AFBs, AVSs, Thermoquads) used mechanical secondaries. And that was on everything from 273s to Hemis.

Think Mopar might have known something you don't?


I think Mopar never found a need for mechanical secondaries on a street engine either.

What you you think the air door is on an AFB? An AVS? A TQ? A vacuum operated secondary.

Just because it doesn't use a vacuum pot to pull on linkage doesn't mean it's not a vacuum secondary.
