Okay when running the Tunnel Wedge intake manifold and a pair of vac. secondary Holley carbs is that balance connection really needed? Now on the Chrysler
426 Hemi with cross ram intake they ran fine without it with their 770 cfm vac. secondary carbs. The cross ram was like a pair of 4 cylinder engines running and same might be said with the
Tunnel Wedge looking like a pair of separate four runner intake manifolds. So how did both run well with and without.

Are you running one to one carb linkage or factory progressive type? If progressive, the medium risers and low risers employed the balance hose. ( I don’t know about high risers).
Some aftermarket vac pods do not have nipples. I don’t run a connecting hose on my set up. ( no nipples, pods have opening rate adjustment screws).
I confirm both secondaries open. I run one to one linkage.

Not sure if I belong in this convo but I have regular BT 2x4 and I’ve run progressive and 1to1 and either one I run the hose. I believe it can be used without If just sort of makes sure they are coming on at the same time as the other. Just a little syncing together. I think on the track it mean less to have the hose because of the fact that we are essentially flooring it but around town I think it is a good idea.
