Vacuum <or> Mechanical secondaries ??

............After reading all the results of the TMI engine study the 650 Holley seems to be a Consensus choice , all things considered . Can someone indulge me and evaluate whether mechanical or vacuum secondaries would be a "best" choice for my 400 engine . Driving my old 77 hiboy around is getting to be a Luxury considering the Price of gas these days . Actually , it's more fun than a Harley cause it can't fall over at Stop Lights , etc. Anyway , I'll await the multitude of responses I'm expecting . Thanks , s.k.

For street driving, definitely vacuum and adjust it as needed.

Good luck,
Doc
