Talk about false advertising- Tri Carb

Check out this early tri carb. The seller is advertising in the title- 400, 425, 455, 442. Hopefully he just doesnt know.

J 2 is for an earlier 57-63 371 Olds motor, It won't fit the engines he says it will.

With the prices of 66 tri carb intakes fully dressed going for 4500 this j2 intake seems like a deal. Figure I would inform our young olds gear heads who are just getting started

This will only fit '57-'58 371 engines. And these intakes really aren't rare at all. This option wasn't popular that late '58 cars with a 2 bbl used this intake- with the front and rear ports blocked off.
