Food for a troll.
From the following thread: https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...-tripower.html
This post was intended to give the OP a "heads up". If his has the vacuum system, he might be able to eliminate a possibility or two.
It was not an invitation for you to hijack that thread, for the purpose of starting a pizzing contest.
You still do not have a clue.
This quote contains several errors.
Since you are so good at finding irregularities, why don't you point out a few of them for us?

........ J-2 Golden Rocket
The 1957 and 1958 J-2 Golden Rocket had three two-barrel carburetors with a vacuum-operated progressive linkage. Only the center carburetor was mechanically connected to the throttle pedal, and it was the only one equipped with a choke. When the center carburetor was opened to 60° or more engine vacuum drawn from the windshield wiper pump would simultaneously open the front and rear carburetors. These carburetors did not open progressively; they were either open or closed. The J-2 engine also had a slightly thinner head gasket, raising compression to 10.0:1. It was advertised with gross power and torque ratings of 312 hp (232 kW) @ 4600 rpm and 415 lb·ft (562 N·m) @ 2800 rpm. Oldsmobile charged $83 for the J-2 option.
In practice, owners who did not regularly drive hard enough to engage the front and rear carburetors experienced problems with the linkage and carburetor throats becoming clogged, and some J-2-equipped cars had the front and rear carburetors removed and blocked off. The package was expensive to produce, and Oldsmobile discontinued it after 1958

My posting style has already been discussed ad-nauseum. You have not been covering any fresh ground, here.
I love how you read, into my posts, what I did not write.
1) You have no idea what kind of person I am.
2) What kind of person I am, has nothing to do with this, or any other thread.
Either get used to it, or ignore it. Do not show your immaturity, by hijack/trashing someone else's thread with your personal attacks.
And this is supposed to excuse/explain your childish attitude?
Doesn't change the fact that you did start it. First time I heard "But I didn't mean to do it" was in kindergarten. It was a pretty feeble excuse when tried by a 4 year old.
Here it is, again:
Just how you you think an off topic, personal attack could be a useful contribution?
And how do you think an off topic "cut and paste" that is full of errors could be a useful contribution?
Me? Offended? You still do not have a clue.
Stop attacking the messenger, because you do not understand the message.

I like to read and learn about Olds stuff, so i goggled J2. I know on my buddys 3x2 it has only a choke on the center, so i wanted to know more about the olds setup. Tats when i found the article i posted ........

Hey Norm
I think you took it all the wrong way. Look back at my original post and think about it. Read it a few times if you have to. If you still dont get it. Ask somebody else.
