TRI CARB carbs

Just wanted to give Mike Richards 66 3X2 442 a big thank you for the carbs I just got from him, these are a work of art! If they run half as good as they look it will be amazing. He was able to set me up with everything I needed to make the install complete, new line kit, throttle linkage and a new t-stat for the choke. His expertise on these carbs is second to none…his willingness to explain the process and help me with any questions I had was very refreshing, if anyone needs help with these kind of two barrel carbs, Mike is your guy!

Lol that's just a couch in my office at work, I have to hide all my Oldsmobile purchases here so she doesn't find out! I wasn't worried about the tags as this combo is going to go on my 65 442 and wasn't worried about complete originality.

Mike's the man.
I'm having an engine built presently with his tri carb resto sitting on top.

Beautiful work as usual from Chop, aka Mike. Mike will do tags on the carbs if you want, he does a great job of coloring and bending them as was done. He did a set for me. He knows these carbs inside and out as well as 66-67 cutlass 442’s. Has helped me out in many many ways..

If anybody is interested you can go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/2688453731241379
and see Peters engine built by Bill Trovato. Peter bought the tri carb setup from me and I think it performed nicely on the dyno. There is a video of Peters engine on the dyno.
