Six pack on a 66

[Sixfootfour]

I found a six-pack ( or what did Ford call it) intake, with the three 2bl carbs, and 3 small air cleaners, for a 390. It would fit on the rebuilt 352, or I could put a hotter 390 in the truck, and the 6 bl set-up. The carbs look pretty simple, manual choke on the center carb. Has anyone used one of these? The truck is a 66 F-250, and is using the bigger size 4100 carb.

You mean like this?
Yes, yes, yes.
And if you do, get ready for a real kick in the ass when you drop the hammer on those bad boys. Trust me.

I got em on a 390 in my 62 uni.

The intake looks really clean, no cracks, like that but with 3 small air filters with chrome tops. Paid $75 from an old collector. His garage was full of parts, not sure what they all were. There is no automatic trans kickdown on these carbs, but I have never hooked it up on my C-6 anyways.

[Uncle Skip]

Well, if you subtract the $75.00 from the going price of $1800.00, I'd say you got a very good deal.
Is the intake flat or are the carb boss's stepped? If they're flat the manifold is for an M code Thunderbird. Either way, you just hit a home run. Congratulations.

BTW, welcome to the very exclusive Tri-power Fraternity.

$75? Congratulations.

What else does he have in the garage?

[Sixfootfour]

It is the flat one. I was at the fellows place to buy some emblems, and saw the tri-power set-up. The wife saw it today, and said whats that for ?

[shocker998md]

I paid 375 for mine and thought i got a great deal and i need to completly redo the carbs, set up the linkages and the choke.

You sir got the deal of the year for sure.

[Uncle Skip]

So, could you do us the courtesy of showing us pictures your "stolen" tri-power?

Seconded, for those of us within easy driving distance...

I have 3-2s on a 428 CJ in my 66. I love them.

WOW, after I picked myself off the floor and dried my tears (I only paid $1600) I sat back down. That was indeed the buy of the century.......go quickly out and buy a bunch of lottery tickets. I wont have mine on the 390 until this summer.

[Sixfootfour]

He had a 3 car garage, and mostly full of stuff. Stacks of boxes, shelves, mostly auto parts, and a 1950's Dodge truck, with the original painted sign from a local Dodge dealership. Their original parts truck, all original.
