Chris,

You're a prince amoung men. I've got a '66 tri-power with no power accessories. Because I've "upgraded" to 4 wheel disks I decided I had to go to an aftermarket power setup. (UPS delivered it today), but I hadn't paid attention on where the vacuum hose went on PB Tri-powers. Checked your posting and there, in the last picture, was the answer for the question I hadn't even asked yet. Do you also moonlight for the Psychic Hotline?

I have 2 65 Tri Powers and 1 66 Tri Power, they are not all complete. I have a 65 that has the original screen-foam type air cleaner. I also have a big car dual snorkel air cleaner that fits on a 65 Tri Power. I have a Chevy carb that looks similar to a 65 center carb. I can show you how to Identify a Pontiac center carb from a Chevy carb. If you are interested I can send some pictures.

I love the idea of technical articles and a repository of Pontiac or general Car knowledge which many people here have lots of!

I have a bunch of "dirty pictures" of my tripower carbs before & during the rebuild including pictures of each carb from all angles sitting on the bench. If anyone is interested I can email them but there's too many to post here.
Chris's pictures of the complete setup on the manifold is about as nice as you can ask for.
I have included a couple pictures here of the carbs during disassembly showing how incredibly simple the Rochester 2bbl carbs are inside. I'm no engineer but I had no trouble rebuilding them using a good quality rebuild kit (from CarbKing) and they actually worked when I put them on my new motor .

Unfortunately, the files are too big but will try to trim them down so I can post them.

Tim:

Can you send me a picture of the drivers side showing where the vacuum advance hooks up?

Thanks

Thanks for the pics guys. It looks like the vacuum advance goes to the front of the rear carb. Is this correct for a 65?

Thanks
Pete
