Seems true to me, also. Once it is set up close enough, mechanical secondaries allow you to learn how to drive the car with that engine and carb combo and not also have to learn where and if the secondaries come in at the same time in the same way. Mechanical secondaries are for sure repeatable and if you are insisting on running a little lean (not for me), you can learn how much it will take by feel. If you are on the rich side a little, no problemski.
Particularly the new Holley HP series is such a high "Q" circuit, even WOT at loRPM will not screw up the stoich metering unless you are seriously below 1600 rpm or so. Carbs certainly have come a long way, baby. These old 3310's will have to go in someone else's motor for historical and hysterical reasons. Give me the new stuff every time.
Though i live in Florida, haven't had a choke in a Cobra for over 10 years...simply not ever needed. Learn how to make it work with your foot and all is cool. So, it pops a little sometimes on start, but doesn't quit running and 45 seconds later it's ready to idle at 700 -
800.
As written elsewhere not so long ago, with the new HP and a proper full MSD package with the mag trigger, so many problems simply melted into te garage floor. Talk about easy to set up and run. Out of the box...would you believe?
OK, then a little tweek or two down in jet size to eliminate Holleys insurance policy practice of rich first...
Talk about nice. Life does get better. Better engineering replaces dodgey engineering.
