Re: PVC system for 1963 tri-power

Hello all... Thanks very much for the photos, this helps clear some questions I have about the PVC system and its routing etc. I am still confused about how the brake booster connects to the system? is there a "T" fitting at the end of the metallic tube and bent rubber hose? I now see how ...

I can vouche for the quality of parts that Joe provides, as I've relied on him for some items to restore the tripower on my '63, even to the point of sending him my carbs for reconditioning with the correct-style throttle arms (I had gotten a set of Galaxie-style carbs which have a different config...

Tri-power restoration and parts

I have a tri-power setup that needs a few odd parts and might need the services of a restoration expert. I heard of a man by the name of Joe Bunetic, but I can't locate a phone number. Could someone help?
Thank you

signal & brake lights

Hi everyone

I'm fixing a wiring goof-up and need some help.

All lights and signals work fine except that what should be my R brake light is appearing as my R turn signal. Could this switch-up originate inside the steering column?

Thanks!

Tri-power intake

Thank you Alan!

I was about to spend a bundle on an original and complete system. I think I should be able to cobble something together with what you have described.

'63 Tri-power

I'm considering installing a tri-power setup on my car. I know it wont be stock, but I love the look.

Does anyone know what the correct carburetor numbers are? Are there repro's available? what are the repro's like? do they work? Are there repro intakes around? Any advice would be great.. thanks!
