Armand,

As I said, Ford has purchased carbs from Holley, with their name on it.
Sometimes it even has Holley's name.

A good reference source on how it worked (and how to determine IF it
works) is Haynes Holley book # 1022 (2069) at speed shops and Pep
Boys.   My Edelbrock air-fuel ratio meter is also a very handy tool for
seeing that everything is working properly, and what to adjust when it
isn't.

The secondaries monitor manifold vacuum and throttle position, and allow
enough vacuum in to start moving the secondaries.  The more air flow you
demand, the wider they open.  Mechanical secondaries open the minute you
put your foot to it, sometimes giving over carburation by being too
open.  Very good, if all your do is wide-open throttle racing.

Steve
