Vacuum Secondary Conversion

Good inputs thank you guys. Some of my thinking was based on this thread. The general consensus was that VS was better for an automatic on the street. My plan is to make one change at a time as mentioned above. First the intake manifold. The situation is a little complex as I am moving to the duel plane for the following reasons:

1. Additional vacuum port for brakes. I didn’t want to drill out the manifold.
2. Would help in overall tuning given the issues of a non ideal motor for this set up.
3. Has lower height which aids in clearance for my hood.
4. Had to be pulled to drill anyway if I went that route.

I am in the process of final restoration and the engine has not run for the last 4 years. So I have a lot to do. But this is my restating point. I just wanted to investigate going to VS to help my understanding if and when I wanted to convert. I’ll try and tune the carb and recurve the distributor as best I can as I shake down the car. This discussion is very insightful as you guys have a lot of experience here.
