66 Tri power value





I picked up what i I believe is a '66 tri power set up today with a load of Olds parts. It is not complete, and the center carb is a new replacement still in the bag, purchased in 1991. The pics show what I have, and I may find some more small parts as I go through the boxes. I would like to list it for a price that is fair to both parties. Thanks, John

John. Don't sell too quick or for too cheap. Go take a gander at the parts for sale section. Check the numbers etc. Don't let some flipper get it all cheap

Clean it up a bit, is the center carb a correct carb or a repop? If its a new oldstock carb, they have a good value. I have one for sale at 2950.00 and its missing the fuel lines etc. I think thats a fair price on mine, yours maybe a tad more since you have more pieces.. depends on the center carb if its correct or not. Best of luck to you

AZ manifold is not the most desirable, The AU is a better one, but still

I believe unless I’m mistaken the AZ manifold is the latest revision that addresses the vacuum leak issue that the earlier manifolds suffered from.

Curious what you did for a living? Did your company or the company you worked for provide a service and make a profit by chance? If it wasn’t for “ flippers” as you call them then many parts would simply never be offered to the car community.. let it go dude

No I am saying don't let someone scam you just to turn around and re-sell it. Like that doesn't happen.

I don't bash anyone ever for making a dollar. I talk smack for fools buying foolishly. Big difference. You completely Don't understand my point of view. Carry on...

I could give a shi what you all think. I am truth. Real. You guys get mad at me for calling a fool a fool for buying something not worth the price? Keep defending the non original cars. That's best for the Oldsmobile world.

I've been int his hobby for over 40 years and have bought and sold hundreds if not thousands of parts and a lot of cars. I paid storage fees for years and worked my @$$ off doing it. If it wasn't for guys like me who were motivated enough to save parts so guys could have them,there wouldn't be a hobby. I am a capitalist by nature and my goal was to make it worth my while. I marvel how you have opinions on just about any subject.
