built up 318 oddly low MPG's? hp rating?

That mechanical secondary Holley is the worst thing you could do for that combo. You need a vacuum secondary on that motor. It would be ok on a stick motor but not on that 727!

double pumper mechanical secondaries are controlled by your right foot.....rear secondaries do not begin to open until the primaries are opened 40 degrees...so you gotta have your foot in it a bit to get secondaires to open...
