Hey mustang652, where did you get that tri-carb setup? What's something like that cost? I'd be very interested but can't find one online.

Don't know how accurate the price is, but I did read a post where they are apparently on back order at Summit. It seems that it is an item that Offy only tools up for producing them once or twice per year. So I would call the order instead of ordering on line so you can know up from if it is currently in stock. Just went through the roughly same thing. Ordered three louvered K&N air cleaners from and it's a rare enough item that they don't keep it in stock and it took just over a month to get them in. If I can be of any help, give me a yell.

I've seen pictures of this set up with the Autolites like I'm using, Webers, Holley 1940's, and one called a YF. I used the Autolites due to cost, I purchase carbs on ebay and rebuilt for average cost of about $70 a piece.


Summit part# is: OFY-5205 , it will fit the earlier 1961-69, 170 and 1963-69 200 6's using the stock carbs. Offy 3x1 adapter from Summit Racing...
$246.39
