Didn't some of the T-bird 390's have 3x2's? I could have sworn one of the FE's used a 3 deuce setup....

Pretty slick non the less. I would love to hear all 3 of them sucking air at WOT. :thup:

Tri-power was an option on 390/406 engines from '61 to '64. My dad had a '64 Galaxie 500 2dr hardtop. 406, three dueces, dual point dizzy, headers, 4 spd, and the "sure grip" rear diff...4.10:1 if i remember right.
I remember two things about that car. Tinker, tinker, adjust, and tune the tri-power. And watch out for second, cause when that 406 got wound up and that third carb opened. :D :D :D :D
I hated him the day he sold it....

A friend of mine had a '63 T Bird sport roadster with the code M 390 3x2 setup. Good luck finding linkage....
