found in dads shed, is this a tri power intake for a model a? if so is there any value? thank u

Yes, it has value. I have a friend, who does hillclimbs in his "A". He had dual carbs on his car, then put on three 97s, and it made a big difference. Of course, he has done many other mods to his car. It wouldn't work on a stock engine.
Those are very scarce.

I was just looking at a three deuce manifold in Snyder's catalog, thinking "Wow, 465 cfm is quite a bit for a Model A". (That's with 3 97's...

)

Or 375cfm with 81s, if one could afford them.

I am only planning on one 97, but could always put dummy carbs on the other 2 just for show. Spending my budget on wood for the delivery and body work right now. Good luck on getting it sold. Nice thing to find. Rod

What else did you find? Terry

your manifold had the center carb flange added on, note the different shape of the center flange. i run three 81's on my speedster, runs great. yes it has value.
