Tri-power info

[Guest]

I've got an old Offenhauser tri-power intake that has never been used. I want to install it on my engine (with 1 or 2 of the carbs blocked off). Once this is installed do you fill the oil through the breather tube where the fuel pump attaches? There's no provision for the oil fill tube on the front of the manifold.



Thanks,

Yes, you would fill it through the breather. If you're thinking of putting it on a late (8BA) block it will not work with the 8BA's crankcase ventilation system unless it has provision for the road draft tube at the front left.

Nope, Going on a 1940.



Thanks for the confirmation.
