Default BG Tripower on a 462 cid in my 66 GTO

I purchased a BG tripower setup for my 66 GTO a couple years ago and I love it. I had a 400 cid with the original tripower on it for years. But a few years ago I replaced the 400 with a built 462 and I wanted to keep a tripower setup on my car but I would of had to do some modifying of the original Rochester carbs to have it idle and run right. Instead I was lucky to find the BG triple D induction tripower setup which came with Demon 2 bbl carbs. They are originally 50 cfm bigger than the Rochester's, and they have a lot more adjust-ability than the Rochester's. I've used the BG tripower for 2 summers so far and the only problem I've had with them is 2 of the carbs had small leaks around the site glass. All I had to do was replace the o-ring behind the glass and I did that while they where still on the car. By the way I love the site glass in them, another benefit. I look forward to this summer when I'm going to replace the jets and squirters to see what I can get out of them. I will attach a few pics of the BG tripower after I rebuilt it. One pic shows it with the one piece oval air filter that came with it. I shined it up and used it for the first summer, but it just didn't look like a Pontiac tripower. So after searching for 3 separate air filters and finding nothing that fits the D shaped tops of the Demon carbs, I just machined my own base plates and used my old original filters. The final pic shows the tripower in my GTO with the separate filters.
