Hey Phil. I sent U a PM asking for some Information. Let Me know if U did not get it? Thanks

  

I starting the installation of the three deuce setup on my TBird today.  The first thing I ran into was a clearance issue between the back of the Edelbrock 573 intake manifold and the road draft tube. I notched the tube and am in the process of test fitting.  I worked out the linkage on the bench.  It looks good.  One thing I have noticed is the throttle springs in the end carbs seem very heavy to me.  This may increase the effort during driving.  Time will tell.  This is going to be a long process.

Hood clearance is not as bad as I suspected.  The problem is with the front carb, not the rear as I originally thought.  I'll run some small screen filters at first then, upgrade when I have things sorted out.

Here's the road draft tube modified for clearance with the Edelbrock intake.

Intake installed.  Carbs and Fuel next.

It's been a fun day. Charlie's progressive linkage is very adjustable.   Had some clearance issues with the TBird overdrive throttle linkage.  Solved it by swapping the slider to the front carb.  Fuel and regulator are connected up. Tomorrow I have to figure out what to do with the coil.  Probably mount it on the firewall.  After that, I'll fire this thing up and see what happens. Stay tuned. 

Keep the Pictures coming. What are You using for a Fuel Filter? I got your PM Thanks

  

I am not running a fuel filter at the moment.  I installed a new fuel tank about 3-4 months ago.  So far no fuel issues.  I'll probably put a filter in after I get things sorted out.

It's alive!!   I had a little trouble with the fuel lines at first.  After a little persuasion... no leaks.   The idle seems stable with no black smoke.  Stab all three carbs and it's 5,000 RPM right now.    I can't drive the car as I have no air filters.  They're on the way.  I also need to build a coil bracket.  Can't wait for cruise night.

Awesome.
