Does this make sense to anyone here? I think this engine was using 3 different carbs... but I don't know enough about them to be able to tell. I have never seen anything like this setup before:
MORE TO COME ONCE PIP STARTS WORKING AGAIN! stay tuned for the vipers...

We used to call that three dueces. 3- 2 bbl carbs with a progressive linkage. It runs on the center carb untill you nail the throttle, then the other two open up. SWEET. Thanks for the great pix.

thanks! but i meant the OTHER pukey green muscle car in attendance. ^_^ in the corner of one of the first pics is a grabber green AMC AMX. no pics of that one? whinewhinewhimperpoutmopecry... : (
weren't the linked 3 two-barrel carb set-ups on mopar engines called 'six-packs?'
Looks like a great car show. Was the crank driven supercharger (the front mounted one) on a V 6 or a Small block Chevy V8? You don't see those every day!

Pontiac called it "Tri-Power" Mopar called it "Six-Pack" Chevy was "3-Dueces" (and I think Ford called it that as well)
WTF!!! I lived up there for about 6 years and have only seen ONE of those cars! the civic! (and he didnt want to run them) was the S2000 red or silver? if so, ive seen that then too. ive heard the cars come out of the woodwork in the summer but jeeze! oh well. looks like it was a good turnout (for bemidji)
yeah, she's pretty hot too! Her boyfriend has the 2nd gen GST that cruises around too. It's a fun crowd most nights. We all usually just randomly get together and get kicked out of parking lots...
yeah she is. im srue ive seen his eclipse, but i dont remember it off the top of my head. i know a few days before i left bemidji there was a bunch of them al hanging out in the parking lot near Union Station. they all just stared as i drove by in the SVT.
btw, do you know hwo drives the White Civic EX with a CF hood? he called my CSVT an escort at a stop light once
hahaha, yeah, I know that kid but I don't remember his name off the top of my head. That car has an acura integra gsr swap done to it, so it's not slow at all.
When I lived in st. cloud and worked at ultimate electronics, one of the other installers had a real nice silver SVT and we all called it an Escort, just to give him a hard time. That's funny...
really, it has a motor swap in it? hmm, becasue i walked him pretty bad....
there are a few SVT's around, but they are kind of the forgotten SVT. most peopel think of the lightning, cobra, and focus. and the only place they say contour on them is the sail panel on the rear doors. no badge on the back except SVT. i should swing up to st cloud and check out his car sometime. ive only seen 2 down here since i moved back to maple grove. and there is one up there out near macintosh
