Default WTB: Tri Power Carbs

I need to break the code on locating a set of Tri power Carbs for a 1969 435hp car. I'm not worried about dates, just a set that are complete. I have given up on tracking over priced junk on ebay. If any one has or knows of someone with a set for sale please send me a email with pictures and asking price. Thanks

I'm presuming this is for a BB car, correct? (the HP # is the key?)

I have a complete SB setup if you are interested... :D
Or maybe someone you may know might be!

G/L to you in your quest, and TTT for ya!

Since you arent worried about dates, try Holley, but: They are expensive. About $500 for the inboard, 400 for the outboards. They have them in both auto and manual tranny versions

I have have seen many tri power carbs at the bigger vette swap meets. And for fairly cheap, but require rebuilds

Also see Chicagovettes on the net. They carry not only new complete tri power carbs, but everey part for them as well

Holley no longer produces this Carb. I have also called around to most of the bigger name Speed shops and they have all been bought up and as you can guess this in turn ran the price up.

Look at Summit, they got a new type of carb that look like the 2 barrel and for only around $150.00 each.

Also seems like Berry Grant has a new 3 carb setup.
