You are welcome. I think there is one or two 1966 carb configurations left to post and then I will go to the 1965 information.

Some may be easier, if the 1966 info matches the 1965 info.
If so I will just re-post the info identifying it as 1965 info and same as 1966.

Finally will do the 1964 info and follow same method as the 1965 info.

If there are differences from 1966, I will post the exact info from the model year sheet.

So what were the changes from 1965 to 1966?

I will list the carb numbers for the 1965 carbs that are the same Calibration as the
1966 Carbs"

Front A/T Carb: 7024178 Same for 1965 and 1966 389 Engines
Front A/T Carb: 7024078 Same for 1965 and 1966 421 Engines

Front M/T Carb: 7025178 Same for 1965 and 1966 389 Engines
Front M/T Carb: 7025078 Same for 1965 and 1966 421 Engines



Rear A/T Carb: 7024179 Same for 1965 and 1966 389 Engines
Rear A/T Carb: 7024079 Same for 1965 and 1966 421 Engines

Rear M/T Carb: 7025079 Same for 1965 and 1966 421 Engines

1965 TRI-POWER CENTER CARB UNIQUE PART NUMBERS TO BE POSTED

The 1965 Center Carbs are a DIFFERENT Calibration vs the 1966 Center Carbs
(I will post the SIX UNIQUE 1965 CENTER CARB CALIBRATIONS NEXT)

The 1965 Center carb calibrations I will post are:

1965 Center A/T Carb: 7025173 389 Engines
1965 Center A/T Carb: 7025177 389 Engines

Tom,
Thank you for posting all of this information!
Could these specs help determine the cfm of these Tripowers?
Thanks,
Don

These specs are calibration specs.
When a 1964 or 1965 2GC Center Carb goes on the Rochester Products "Air Box", (the carb is installed inside an actual box, no air cleaner, and with Stoddard Solvent running thru the fuel passages), you get a flow number that has to meet a given specification at a minimum air flow in pounds of air mass per minute.

Same deal for the 2G End Carbs on all 3 years and the Center Carb on the 1966 engines. The specs are right on the sheets.

A Holley or Rochester Products Flow Stand is not the same thing as a Superflow Flow Bench that only passes air thru the carb. The Holley and Rochester Products Flow Stands SIMULATED the actual carb running on a engine at a given rpm (CFM) point.
Be it Idle Conditions, or under other conditions. Engine Dynometers were used to verify running engine carburetor performance using fuel flow rates thru the carb, air flow rates thru the test cell, and exhaust gas analyser information coming out of the exhaust.

So a CFM "Number" means little on a Engineering Build Sheet. They do list Pounds per Minute (Air Mass) specs though to make sure the Idle air/fuel is correct for the engine to idle properly.

Sean Murphy, former employer of Brad Urban, friend of Tom S, owner of Sean Murphy Induction, did a article on Rochester 2 BBL carbs about 10 years ago.

Here is the link. It talks about Carb CFM because racers like to talk to cfm numbers.
Carb Engineers, be them Holley Engineers or Rochester Engineers talk in lbs/min of idle air flow and Air Box "set points".

https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ctrp...g-carburetors/

I am diverging from posting the normal info, because the info I have been posting tells Carb Engineers, Rochester Products Engineers in this case, how to test on a Engineering Carb Test Stand a given carb to make sure it was acceptable for production.

Before people started racing carb CFM (vs actual Pounds per Minute of airflow at a agreed-upon test point), a Holley Air Box could test a Rochester 2 BBL and compare it to a Holley 2 BBL as far as pounds of air mass (using Stoddard Solvent as the fuel) one carb vs the other. Then the CFM racing started.

Autolite had their Carb Test Stands, Holley had theirs, (both at the Engineering Locations and at the Carb Build Plants.
Rochester basically did their Engineering/Testing in Rochester N.Y.

Read Sean's article, he is a good carb guy, better than most.

No more History Lessons until I get all of the sheets posted.

Each specific carb number is listed there vs looking at the bottom of the page
which is confusing in its statements at times.

Tom V, i have found 7026074 389/421 A/T center carb uses #60 main jets and .055" drilled hole i throttle valves.
The specs in your post on the 7026074 correlates more to the 7026075 389/421 M/T center carb which uses #62 main jets an no holes in the throttle blades?

I am just typing the information (to the best of my limited typing skills) presently. I would suggest to the PY Members that they make no copies of the information until I have loaded ALL of the information and checked line by line for errors BEFORE they copied and printed the information for their files.

Errors on this large amount of information CAN happen during the initial phase.

Patience and we will have accurate information.

Thanks Kenth for identifying the errors identified in my typing to date.

Taking a long week-end so see you on Tuesday as far as new info on the Tri-Power post.

I might communicate/view occasionally, on my phone, but no capability to do the large spreadsheets for the Tri-Power carbs Information.

It will be a few days before new info.

Doing errands for people in the neighborhood, Tri-Power stuff is far down on the list.
Will try to do more on it down the road after this Virus mess in worked out for the people in the community.

Back at it as promised.

I HAVE CONFIRMED that the information for Pontiac Tri-Power FRONT CARB 7024178 is
correct (as previously posted) in Posts # 32 and # 33 of this information.
