His E-Bay Ad:
"Here is the new aluminum tripower intake that is a copy of the 1966 model. I have been working on this project for 3 years and now I finally have them. Made in the U.S.A. Quality is excellent. Intake weighs in at 14 lbs. I only made 130 of these and have sold about 50. Not sure if I will have more made so if you are interested don't wait. If you want a stock intake then buy this and paint it. It is that close to original. Will throw in the waterneck for a short time. I also reproduce end carb tops and will have baseplates by the end of March and it looks like whole carbs by the end of April. My website at tripowerparts.com should be up shortly and I should be able to fill all your needs as I have a vast supply of parts." Apparently Chris is not one of his favorite people if he has sold 50 of them already. Is the aluminum waterneck part of the deal at PY too? Either way I hope they fit and are being shipped soon. Tom V.

I see he actually has 2 listed - under "tripower" and "tri power". The "tri power" one is at $460.00. Can't blame the guy, with all the hype on this, I would try to quickly sell as many as I could at retail also.

Steve's got a lot of money tied up in this intake. I don't blame him for wanting to get some back real quick. I'm sure he will be honoring all the backorders we have very soon. We'll be calling all of you that have reserved one. Give it about a week or so.
On a related note, we are very close to releasing a 3 q-jet carb set for this intake. It will use oem linkage but a unique fuel line and fitting kit. Not for the purist, but a reasonable price solution and an overall stock appearance. See PY stuff for pics and details in March. --------------------------- Fool around, Get hurt, don't come crying to me.

I am also waiting for a phone call or e-mail from Chris on my intake. Sure there will be more intakes made, Steve just want's to get some of his investment back and then go from there. Steve is also lookng into having a 1965 Tri-Power intake cast.

Called the girl at PY today, Chris was out of town.
She is SUPPOSED to call Steve and find out about my three intakes. They are SUPPOSED to be drop shipped from Steve's business but she could not get ahold of Him SUPPOSEDLY. Still waiting (in my number one position). Tom V.

Received my e-mail from Performance Years this morning, the intakes are ready to ship. I just called PY and paid for my intake, it will be drop shipped Monday from FL. Should have it next week, $450.00 plus shipping.

Got an e-mail from her too that said mine are going out next week. Need to call her with the credit card info though.
Maybe pretty quickly I will have an Aluminum 66 Tri-Power intake! Tom V.

Saw Steve... he had a 100 intakes. I saw at least 15 of them sell. I took 2, but should have bought 10, but I didn't have the $$ on me.

I PAID for my intakes with a credit card today so
hopefully the intakes will ship soon. With Steve selling the intakes to every person he comes in contact with, what was the advantage of going through PY if the price is the same? Definately not the ability to get one first as everyone seems to be getting their intakes first. Explain that one to me again. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
