1969 tri power

[Dan Osborne]

I am looking for a tripower setup to bring my 69 back to an original 427 400. My current engine is correct so I will need oval ports on the intake. Does anyone know where I can get a reproduction setup?

I don't think that the manifolds are being reproduced yet for 68-69 applications, although the 67 applications are. Also, I don't think that Holley is manufacturing the reproduction carbs anymore, although there are still some around (at very high prices).

To get up-to-date information on these parts I'd get in touch with David Crane at Crane's Corvette (www.cranescorvette.com) in San Diego. David is one of the "tri-power kings".

Usually there are manifolds and carburetors listed for sale in the NCRS Driveline. The NCRS Regional in Kissimmee next month has a very good swap meet. Carlisle is by far the largestest Corvette swap meet. I am sure that you can find on at one of those swap meets.

Thanks Dick and Joe, I am going to be in Kissimmee and will be hunting seat belts and a tri power. Carlisle was awesum but I was in the middle of my frame restoration at the time. This is a great site and I look forward to learning from you guys!
