Correct, and there were a pretty limited number of tri power cars.

I'm going to have to dig into it a little more, but the rumor is that this car could have been tri power car.

I believe all tri power cars were 4 spds so there's that much done.

The Olds tri-power intake was being reproduced by Parts Place a couple years ago. Not sure how that affected prices on the originals. One of the cool things about the Olds tri-power is the way you can block off the heat risers (and unblock them) in just a couple minutes, verses having to pull the intake and using block off plates on the Pontiac tri-power. Nice feature to have back then if you were driving your tri-power 442 year round.
