Score! tri-power

[Terry]

A local cat had this setting for sale. He was asking 200.00, I pulled the money out in front of him and counted all I had with me, 110.00. Asked if he'd take that and he went for it. So a new piece for Henry! (my truck)

Nice score man!
About 3 month's ago i grabbed a killer tri-power from a local guy.
To make a long story short, i scored an original Offy flathead tri-power intake, old fuel block with the red plastic fuel lines, connected to 3 mint Stromburg 97's with all the progressive linkage!!!
I paid 200 bux for everything! It was still all bolted together beside's!!

Every once in a while, we hit a good deal!

Hey Terry

Nice find and a great price...! Were they warm to the touch? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Or very "HOT"? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You might have discovered the set "Lifted" from Aces & 8's in Bracken Texas! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

"Hopefully" the guy had a bunch of other project stuff that's been laying around for a long time, and you just got a fantastic deal! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Doe's he have anything else he's willing to give away??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh great I hadn't even thought about that!

[wingnutz]

SORRY...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif How far are you from San Antonio...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[BELLM]

Good deal! Hope it is legit & not hot, price really is good course people get broke sell shit cheap. Going price @ Pate this year for nice setup around $750. Shoulda kept setup I had 30 yrs ago, shoulda kept all that stuff I had 30 yrs ago, could retire now. Good luck! (Oh yeah, dont make homemade linkage that sticks wfo when you are going about 120 in a 56 Chev. Scary! Been there, done that!) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

From San Antonio, lets see around 7 hours? I got it from a cat at the Odessa Swap meet, so maybe he was just hard up for money.

And I'll be sure to stay away from any homemade linkage! LOL Musta been a hell of a ride!

[wingnutz]

Nice thing about Texas is that the next door neighbor has to travel several hours to get "nosey"!! SAFE!

"Then go see if he has another to give away"! Shit he might have the car the tri-carbs were on "For sale"!

Good Score!
