Anyone running a Tri-Power intake?

Anyone running a Tri-Power intake on a 302? If so what cam and piston are you running? I am just having some wild ideas.

Had 3 2's on my Cyclone for yrs, man what a pain to keep tuned and from leaking. Looks good, but a 4bbl makes f=more power and is easier.

Good luck finding a tri-power intake for a 302.

Found the bronco I have now it had a 302 with duel quads. Made a deal with the kid, I want the Bronco, but you can keep the engine. So I built a 351 for it.

I have already located one, just not sure I want to go that route yet.

Not on a Bronco, but I had a '66 GTO with a 389 and tri-power. It depends on what carbs you're thinking about running and how heavy your right foot is. The GTO tri-power setup was very simple and, if you kept your right foot out of it, got very good mileage for that car and engine. It ran off the middle carb most of the time, so that carb had all the typical adjustments. The end carbs had almost no adjustments, so tuning was easy. The linkage was progressive, so that the end carbs were usually shut all the way. Once you stepped hard enough on it, the two carbs would pretty much go from shut to wide open. The acceleration when you did that was awesome, but then you could actually watch the gas gauge go down. ;D

Thats where I got my Idea, My uncle had a mint green 66 GTO 389 tri power 4 speed, Awsome car, Just wanting to do something that will be different.

I'd say go for it if you can find a carb setup like the GTO had. If you have to run three identical carbs without progressive linkage, I'd think twice as tuning would be a bitch.

Man that is a old one it still has the spot for the road draft tub in the back. (the hole after the 3rd carb.) I havent seen one of them in a very long time. They were around in 63/64 saw them on the mustang and fairlane. %) %) %) Bill %)

Summit sells the kits now, they are coming back.

There was a complete setup on ebay last week manifold, carbs and linkage. It was a lot cheaper than trying to piece it together as the carbs will cost you
