I have a 65 tri-power with progressive linkage. Besides the vacuum off of the carb and choke lines, what do you do with the vacuum ports on the manifold? Plug them? No power brakes.

Two of the ports connect to a "F" shaped fitting, and from there a single line goes to the pcv valve.

Does anyone know of any books written on tri-powers?

Quite a few pictures & good text about 64-66 GTO Tripowers in the GTO Restoration Guide.

Over the last couple of months, I have been restoring my 65 GTO TriPower. I make it a point to take pictures of other cars at shows that I feel have correct TriPower setups. Feel free to browse the pics I have collected. Note, there are other GTO pictures in there, some of bizarre details, don't ask why. FYI, warning, the images are very high resolution and will load slowly if you don't have adequate bandwidth.
