I checked on-line and I was supposed to get the -4 model, not the -2.  ARGH!  Well as luck would have it, a local speed shop has them in stock so I can pick one up locally tomorrow.  I'll save a few dollars on shipping that way.  :)

It will let you do two power valve circuits.  Unfortunately, on the 3310 base plate, the secondary circuit uses a transfer slot so you can't install the check ball.  But, as I examined things, I did find the throttle body hadn't been drilled for the secondary power valve.  That's not surprising actually since the carb originally came with a secondary metering block and no power valve; hence no need to drill the vacuum passage for it.
