Dick, I run a basically stock 66 Tripower the 11's. My end carbs seal well, it responds when I hammer it. I have played with and adjusted Tripowers since the mid-sixties. I do think there is room for improvement with an aftermarket set-up. IMHO, solid rods with slots to make it progressive would be an improvement over the smaller(bendable for adjustment rod) for the front carb. A larger, easy to tune center carb for the 455+ motors would be an improvement also. Don't forget we are talking about Holley carbs. It is my thought that if Rochesters are not being used, originality is no longer an issue, so make all improvements possible. For me I will probably continue to use the set-up I am running now(with minor improvements). -Jim
