To start, I will post both sources by which I used to my advantage.

After about 2 hours of searching, I finally found the vacuum removal thread written by Accord EX and A20A1:

In that thread, I found the below link.
An absolutly awesome write up by shepherd79 with the help of A20A1 at Fortunecity.com at this link:

I just spent the last 3 hours doing this modification, and I must say it is night and day in the performance of my little A20.

I would like to emphasize that the part you need for mechanical secondaries is located on the driver side of the carb. It took me a while to figure that out, but maybe I am just that tired,

But anyway, I took it for a test drive, and while in first, and could cruise at about 20mph, floor it, and spin rubber. It is simply amazing.

Edging closer to a 16 second car.

Thanks!

It sucks the gas now, though. I have a feeling that if I stay out of the secondaries, I might be able to salvage 6-7mpg.

Now I just need to find a cool air box for it!

It's deffinantly ready for the track in my book. I think I can compete with a couple of my buds. ROUGH guesstimate; I started with a 19 second car, and I might be down to maybe low 17's!

Another thing I forgot to mention...

I believe that the vacuum removal mod should be sticky'd in the CARB section, too! Where it should be.

I think tomorrow I will adjust the valves!

what did you use to plug the vac holes?

When you come "14" and wonder how the hell you're gonna adapt a 3/8th hole to an 1/8th" hole, don't worry...

I kept the short hose that came from the nozzle and found that the vacuum hose fits right inside like a glove!
