That's pretty sweet - gotta love rare factory performance parts!

Thats the one factory bathtub grandndaddy tunnel ram with 2bbl idling carb. The one I was talking about was not for a wagon. You have all the info I could ask for and pictures also. Thank you Tom. *Paul

Most non pontiac guys have NO clue how far ahead of the HiPo biz that Pontiac was back them.When the racing ban went into effect in 63 it pretty much cut the heart out of the engineers.The RA V tunnel port project in 69 was just a copy of the Ford tunnel port program.I was lucky enough to be racing in the early 60s and had the inside track on the SD parts and programs becaus of Micky Thompson and Jess Tyree.I still have one of the alu RA V blocks,a 303 SCCA short deck Cross Ram intakes stached away.Tom

Can anyone post a clearer picture of the 3 barrel Carter AFB?

I have seen two 3 barrel Holley 950cfm and I think 3 barrel Holley 1050cfm on Tunnel Ram,that's all. *Paul

I have owned a few of them,will see if I have any old pics around.They were used on the super speedways only.They had no primary metering rods and were 1 to one on the primary and secondarys.Also had no air valves on the secondary.They made VERY few of them.Seems like the intakes show up way more than the carbs.Tom

The reason that I ask is that my dad saw an NOS one at Carlisle in the 1980's and told me about it when I picked up a few Holley 3 barrels a few years back. I would like to show him some pictures to show that he was right (I was a doubter since I have never seen one until now).
