Default 1966 service manual question (tripower)

Which 66 service manual will give details about the tripower ? I can see there is a manual for Tempest, just want to make sure to buy the correct one.

The Service Manual has a section with a few pages on the Triple 2-barrel carb. Shows adjustments and things.


Don't have my manuals with me right now, so don't know is any other manuals have info or not.

You can find details about the 1966 tripower in both Tempest Chassis Shop Manual (389 GTO) and in Pontiac Chassis Shop Manual (421 Fullsize).

Here is some useful info (Thanks Tom V):

Here is the 1958 Chevrolet service information for the tri-power. A lot of the information applies to the Pontiac's. https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.co...oogle_vignette
