Who recolors, sells and works on tri power carbs
 

I am going to piece together a 65 or 66 tripower. Just cant afford to plunk down 2300 dollars.

Which one would be easiest to find correct carbs for? I am not looking for numbers matching. If a 64 carb will work you know what I mean.
This is not my first tri power so I understand what goes into them. I will probably find one that is 2/3rds there or something some one got tired of looking at.

So who can make these carbs look good and keep me on track with parts and knowledge?

Thanks
Greg

Either a '65 or '66 would cost about the same to build or buy. The '66 would be easier if you're not worried about matching numbers. There are many large 2GC carbs that will work as a center carb for a '66 setup--some better than the "correct" one.

With the '66, you have the option to use an aluminum intake, which will cost the same as a oem cast iron manifold. These need to be checked carefully, though, for casting pinholes and often need port grinding to match the heads. I've done a few myself--it's not difficult.

I can supply any or all of the parts, manifold, carbs, linkage, fuel lines, choke stove, fuel filter bracket, air cleaners, etc. You should be able to find end carbs for $250 each or less. A non-original center carb should be less than $100.

Here are a few '66's that I've done recently.

Great work Dick

Before I get started is there any complications working around a vintage air a/c setup.

Thanks

Dick, what do you feel the best non original center carb for a 66 set-up is for a performance build?

All the Pontiac Tripower setups will fit with vintage air, including the ‘66 aftermarket manifold.

Find a 2G carb with the largest venturis. The ‘57 Pontiac single 2bbl. and a few others have 1.312” venturis, the same size as ‘59-‘66 end carbs. Most are 1.190”.

Dick, I gotta say, your tri-power stuff are works of art!

Thank you. I try even harder to set them up so they run like a TIGER!!
