Tri-Power 4-cylinder?
 
I was looking at the Offenhauser catalog (which hasn't changed much over the years), and noticed that they have a 3-2 manifold for the Tempest-4. I think it would be cool to run a Tri-Power Tempest! I had never given it much thought, but I suppose it's nothing but half of one their 6-2 Pontiac manifolds.

Been looking for one for years, never have look at one them up close. I have half of a Offie log, just need carbs and linkages. Anyone know where I can get small pattern 4 bolt (2G) carbs? Always throught the 62 would look good with trips.

I have used some Cheby carbs for Tri-Power center carbs on some non show cars I have had. The carbs off the early cars and some later trucks have the small bolt pattern. Like the old 283 & 327 and some 350's in trucks. Also have use the 425E carbs to. I'll look and see what I have left...if any.
Check some Cheby sites and e-rape...

Jusjay I have a box full of 2g carbs in my parts storage. I bought them at a junk yard going out of buisness sale. (cleaned out a bus)!! There are no tri power carbs but a lot of the early Cheby stuff. Do you have any #s?? Ill gladly look through them for you. Scott.

Hi Scott, not sure what I need. I'll Start with 3 rebuildable 2GC small bore, small base carbs if you have them.
Thanks

I picked up one of those Offy manifolds a while back and am also hoping to round up the carbs & put together a 4-4-3-2, or would that be a 4-3-2-4

tiacguy 03-11-2007 02:46 PM

Jusjay, out of all the carbs I have theres only one small bolt job but its in great shape. Its not rusted fast. Its complete and in re-buildable condition. Its a shame you cant use the larger ones theres at least a dozen of those. Scott.

Hi Scott, let me know what you need to get for it with shipping to 91709 and what form of payment you want. Thanks for looking, Jay
