Slick 60's

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.

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.

Wow $75 for a tri-power setup? Deal of the year

Mike

$75? Congratulations.

What else does he have in the garage?

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 ?

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.

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.

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.
