Got the oil pressure fittings set up to run oil pressure next to the distributor

Then swapped the brake booster out, what a pain in the a$$

Still need to bleed the brakes

Default TriPower minor revamp

These were a set of TriPower Carbs that I bought 35+ years ago.
They came off a 1964 421 HO- which originally had vacuum actuated outboard carbs
Sold the useless (to me) bare ’64 intake manifold to IA Dick Duclow- and ended up with the carbs for free.
The carbs had an aftermarket mechanical conversion linkage that someone had installed, and some ugly ass homemade fuel lines.

I initially wanted to replace the ugly fuel lines- but the aftermarket mechanical linkage prohibited installing factory fuel lines that due to interference.
I liked the nostalgia of the aftermarket linkage- which utilized a replacement longer center carb throttle shaft- so I just lived with the ugly fuel lines.
I’m sure I probably could’ve fabricated something much nicer years ago with very little effort- but that just wasn’t high on my priority list.

Finally decided to change it up a bit- and bought a replacement ’65 center carb throttle body, some factory ’65 fuel lines & factory mechanical linkage.
