triples are very hard to maintain and will cost more or as much as a V8 to run. But triples sound SICK (that means good). zac Edited by user Friday, 9 September 2005 7:09:19 PM(UTC)

He He!! I know what sick means (i am only 20yrs old)!
Triples are the answer to anyone's power needs without forced induction! Holley = Bulk fuel, Triples = Bulk 'holy sh!t on a stick' factor!
Its a shame i do work out here so often because i woul

I dont know if they make them brand new!! If they did, they wouldnt be cheap at all - a good second hand set goes for up to $1000 these days, even more on ebay some times!
No luck with the mags! Ive even tried a Volvo forum's "for sale" section! No

Yes and No!! Triples - once tuned, are the most driver friendly carburettor, but if you dont tune them right, you'll be forever playing with them! They contain oil in a reservior thats the only other thing youll need to keep an eye on, but you tune them Edited by user Friday, 16 September 2005 12:34:07 AM(UTC)
