I heard from Charlie at Vintage Speed.  He's been inundated with work lately and wasn't been able to get back to me.  We discussed the three Holley 94s I sent him.  I bought these on EBay along with an Edelbrock 573 intake manifold a few months ago. He asked a lot of questions about my car and what I was expecting.  He recommended rebuilding my Holley 94s and having them set up properly for a tri-carb setup with good linkage.  We arrived at a price and I pulled the trigger.  He called me Friday and said my carbs look like new and they are being shipped on Monday.

I am planning to post my progress on this forum.  My current motor runs great with a single Holley 4V.   I don't expect the tri power to increase the performance.  I want to see if it's possible to run this setup on my TBird without sacrificing drive ability. 

As soon as I receive my carbs from Charlie, I will post photos of my progress.
