Default Just bought a 427 Tri-Power

Can anyone recommend a good source for info on tri-power carberators? Mine run fine but have a slight fuel leak.
Thanks,
Larry

Sweet car. Got any pics of it. I love the way the tripower set up looks when you raise the hood. Good luck with the new car. BTW, get that leak fixed we want to see you keep your vette in good shape. :thumbs:

Welcome to the Tripower club Larry :hurray: :hurray:
The carbs are just Holleys but they do seem to leak more prolifically than 4 barrels. More plumbing I suppose.
