Nitrous Oxide Tripower
Hello everyone
I was wondering if anyone has put their Tripower Pontiac on spray ? I am thinking a small wet shot, maybe 75hp (or dry) I was thinking of getting a spacer plate, between the carb and intake, like the ones on ebay and plumbing my nozzles in that instead of drilling out the intake. I hope the air cleaners still fit under the hood. Can someone give me any advice? Pictures worth a thousand words. Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk |

Old Man Taylor ran a tripower on juice in his 64 GTO YEARS ago.Tom

Jim Taylors NOS system was a simple plate system under the carbs.
Apparently it worked well as he had it on his street 64 GTO/Street Race car for many years and the word was he won a lot of races and a reputation with that car. Tom V.

Minor clearance issue using 1/2” nitrous plates with the front carb air cleaner requiring bending the hood bracing, Jim describes it here in this thread:

I am thinking using the 1/2 spacers, but not into bending my hood webbing. Maybe a lower profile front air filter?
Might be more trouble then I thought... Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk |

I still have nitrous on my car. It's been on continuously since 1978. Originally I just bent the brace on the hood, but when I had the car painted I had that piece cut out.

I have all of the pieces to do a Fogger set-up on one of my aluminum 1966 Tri-power
intakes and a full bottle of NOS in the Shed. Just never got around to installing it as finding a NOS supplier around the Detroit area was not easy. Most racers had gone to "belt driven" supercharger systems and no need for bottle refills by then. Tom V.

I don't have a part number. When mine were made (1978) they were custom made by Marvin Miller.
