Homemade Mechanical Secondaries?

Hey,

A guy once told me he had a carb with vacuum secondaries and somehow he home-made it into a carb with mechanical secondaries. I don't know what kind of carb he had....Anybody done this or heard of it being done?? I would like to try it!!

That was real common with Ford 4100 4bbl. You could buy a little link with a slot in it to adjust when you wanted the secondary to kick in.
