Here is a set of carbs I just finished for a pretty unique rare 66 442 3X2 Convertible. It's a documented with the POP factory floor shift mounted 3 speed Dearborn/Phord transmission. There were only 240 66 tri carb convertibles built and Curt Anderson did the math and figures there were appx. 5 built with this option and possibly the only one with a bench seat. It was a no option car other than a radio. The car is currently undrergoing a full frame off restoration. If anybody knows of another 66 442 tri carb convertible with the 3 speed option by all means jump in. I figure the car was misordered somehow.

 

Be still my heart.............

 

Very nice. Look forward to some finished pics down the road.

 

I have another set on the table right now and 3 more sets waiting. Gotta stay busy. Just to clarify,the car does not belong to me & I'm just trying to help with what little knowledege I have.

 

What's the price????

 

What are you referring to?

 

Beautiful work Mike.

 

Are you doing the replating yourself?

 

Those are gorgeous!

Is there a thread with pictures of the project?

 

No,I send the casdtings to one vendor and the linkage to another. I plate the bases myself with black manganese phosphate where as some restoresers paint the bases. I use new plated screws and the kits are the best on the market.

 

The car is not mine but if I get pictures from the owner I will post them.

 

Beautiful work Pops..nothing screams 60’s muscle like multiple carbs..if anyone needing there’s rebuilt he is your guy..just look at those carbs? Damn perfect..

 

Allways great work, Mike! You are the best!

 

Thanks Andy but I'm just a guy who loves the tri carbs and restoring them. There's nothing really trick about them and really get tired of hearing about how they wouldn't perform or run right,that's pure BS.

 

Thanks

 

100% agree, I have had several Pontiac tripower set ups along with my current Olds tricarb set up on my 66.. they are a very simple carb and work very well. You just have to make damn sure the outboard carb rod isn’t out of adjustment at idle, most people have the rod bent, or something causing the out board plates to be slightly cracked open wreaking havoc at idle. As you already know, learned a ton from you on many aspects of Oldsmobile

 

Thanks Greg

 

I have 'fixed' many of them on the phone with the secondary rod adjustment.

 

Awesome line up. They look great.

What are the colors of the car that they are going on?

 

Those are a thing of beauty...awesome work.
