It was a vacuum-only for the secondaries.
The butterly openings were 1 11/16" (Primary and Secondary).
Here's the confusion, what was the CFM-rating.
It was 700 CFM.
Holley serial #'s _776 = 600 CFM
_777 = 650 CFM
_778 = 700 CFM (D DART)
_779 = 750 CFM
_780 = 800 CFM

* The D DART carburetor was equipped with a manual choke only.

Okay, food for thought. 1969 Chevy 427 and 1969 Chevy Z-28 with the 302 both had 4150 Holley carbs rated from the factory at 780 CFM. Example, the 427 carbs had a listing of #4346 for the COPOs and #4396 for the ZL1. So how does that fit with what you state above?
