No, but a tri-carb intake will.

When I saw the subject the first thing I looked for was to see if Norm had posted. FYI 442oldslawyer, tri-power is a Pontiac term and some guys get a little sensative about it. Don't take it personally. Come on Aliens and cut him a little slack.

Of course, but I can't understand why you would compare me to that other guy.

I am actually not one who is offended by the term "tripower" as applied to Oldsmobiles, even if its incorrect parlance. But I cannot and will not cut that particular guy ANY slack. Phraseology aside, I'm actually amazed he would ask the question, considering his long and storied association with L69 cars.

Sorry, just pulling your chain. You have to admit, it was a little too easy...

I understand. Of course, he doesn't bother me. Not since 8/8/2009, anyway.
