They don't get in a hurry to greet you when you walk in the door.

Yup . Joe has never even said hi to me. They have good stuff but Joe is not fun. I think he is the owner.

Good to see you made it here.! Have you checked out the tri power section for the guys on here that rebuild them?

I've bought from them several times the past 4 years and their reproductions in nearly all of those cases sucked. Some I even returned that I could not modify to work.

*** update*** thanks to all who offered input. I don't think I'll go with them for the Tri_Power. ******.. they may be ok with small part but nothing expensive as the Tri unit.

I wouldn't buy anything from there. Go into the GTO section and ask around, not everybody checks the lobby! I'm sure there is somebody that can help you out!

Ya I should of put I only bought small things from them like window cranks and such.. For a tri power I would see what these guys recommend. Is Jon the CarbKing still active here?

Why yes, yes he is. But he is selling rebuild kits only, IIRC.

I thought Dick Boneske sells Tri-powers? And I thought he was considered somewhat of a Tri-power guru on this forum? He’s pretty active on this site. You could PM him.

What year Tri-Power do you need? Where are you located? I have manifolds and carbs for every year from 1959 to 1966. Also have carbs from 1957 and 1958 (the small ones). I can supply carbs or manifolds separately or as a setup ready to bolt on your engine.
Here are a couple that I restored. I'm in Winneconne, Wisconsin.

1964 421 HO with a set of carbs restored by Dick Boneske. I supplied the two secondary carbs and Dick supplied the 1964 GTO auto trans center carb along with all the fuel lines, linkage and various vacuum fittings.

I ordered the tripower carbs from them about 5yrs ago. They arrived quickly, however one carb was leaking fuel into the manifold. (stuck float?) I didn't want to open it up, so I returned the one carb, which they rebuilt. Overall, very happy with it.
