Does anyone have part numbers for 1965 tripower rebuild kits that can be found at local retail auto stores.

Or, you could also go with either Dick Boneske or cracking who are both on his site and offer great products.

Holy jeez. Clearly I need my reading glasses more than ever! My post above meant to read:

Who the hell is "cracking", anyway?

He meant Carbking.

I have kits for the '65 setup. Two ends and one center ready to ship. Will PM prices. You can PM address and payment method--PayPal or check.

If you want your three carbs and linkage restored, I can do that. I've attached a few pictures of '65 setups I've done recently.

Wow those look great. Whats the recoloring process and are the throttle plates painted (black?) or natural cast iron? Ive seen it both ways not sure whats correct for a 65 ?

The carb coloring process is called zinc dichromate. It is a dipping process where the bodies are first dipped in a strong cleaning solution, then and acid prep, then a zinc-rich liquid at 120 degree F. This is how Rochester did this since the 1940's. The bases are cleaned and coated with Zinc Phosphate from Eastwood, which has a very similar appearance to the OEM black oxide treatment. However, the black oxide did not do a good job of preventing corrosion. The throttle plates were originally left plain steel, and rusted, especially when not used on a regular basis. I have all the plates plated with black zinc, which prevents rust and looks great--even though you don't see them unless you peer into the carb airhorn. I use DAG213 on all end carb throttle plates, even the ones that have a near-perfect seal. This is key to stopping air leakage and results in a smooth idle with maximum vacuum.

If it’s anything like my experience, it was the evil ‘spellcheck’ rearing it’s ugly head. Lol

Thank you. After doing Tri-Power restorations for nearly 40 years, I've learned a few tricks and found a great place for plating and dichromate. I could not ask for a more satisfying hobby.

I have to chime in here, those tri-power set ups are a work of art.
