I received pictures of all the molds in the mail today. I should have a finished test product in 4 weeks. After I check the fit and alignment I will give the ok to produce them. Looks like the end of March. I am also coming out with the 66 waterneck in aluminum. Should be out at the same time. Also getting a quote on end carb pieces. I'm hoping to make new bases and tops and eventually the bowls. I would like to see these parts out by the end of May. Will keep you informed.

I would be interested if I could get the carbs. I have a 62 manifold I would love to use if I could also get the carbs.

The idea of this aluminum tripower is great. However, what about a kit of some kind...one that has a complete mechanical linkage, the manifold, waterneck...maybe even have another kit for the carbs that includes the bases, tops, and all?? What do you think Ccass if your still checking this out??

I'm pretty impressed with the tripower intake.
Looks like it will be a real good seller. |

I agree, a MUCH NICER finish than I expected.
Looking forward to flowing one and providing the info to everyone. Tom V.

Agreed. Very nice finish and looks good. I am looking for center carb now. I have one some where if I can just find it. For my application it need not be a correct 66 tri-power carb. Just let me know when they are ready.

$450 is looking like the price at this point. Maybe $425. We should know for sure by the end of March. I expect to have at least several at the Spring shows. That will at least save on shipping. You might want to get your requests processed now. PY Part #RPE342. Assume $450. We won't bill your credit cards until they are in stock.

I just hope it doesn't come out of the same Foundry that the Wenzler stuff does.

It does not look like any Wenzler parts, Hell Edelbrock has not been doing too good on the quality control as of the last 3 years.

Just a suggestion. It would be nice to have BOTH bosses on the water cross over tapped for heat gauge and /or fan switch or even to allow for cooling system mod.( rear of cylinder head to crossover) In addition to tap two rear bosses for spark plug wire looms. It looks like a first class piece and maybe this has already been thought of, but just my .02 worth. Any more reports on flows or delivery date.

Chris is sending me one of the first ones to flow

So far just a consolation prize. The aluminum waternecks(65') just arrived. They look real nice! No word on the intake yet.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
