Don't know if anyone is interested. 3 Deuce Intake
(sigh) This is not a part number, it's the firing order cast onto the manifold!FE 6V (3 deuces-3 Holley 2V's): Standard equipment: 1962/63 Thunderbird "Sports Roadsters" (390 VIN engine code M).
Optional: 1962/64 390/406/427 Ford/Merc full sized Passenger Cars. This setup would be worth three times + the sellers asking price here in LA LA Land.

In my neck of the woods, a tri-power manifold, less carbs and linkages, was going for $1500. So, $800 for what looks to be complete seems like a good deal. ND, wasn't the manifold for a T-Bird versus a Galaxie different? Something about hood clearance?

Look at the pics of this thing. Where are the bolt holes to bolt the T-stat cover on to the manifold? Is that a line of weld in line with where one of those bolt holes should be?
Buyer Beware.

Ah yes, the good old days. Supply tank was made of two pieces of copper soldered together forming a seam. Seam split open, water gushed out.
Good news for parts peeps, bad news for owners, cuz these tanks cost 80 bucks, a lotta money back then.

Above the 2 o'clock hole, the manifold cracked, a 'liquid weld' was used to fill it in. Someone will buy it...and most likely won't notice the fixum. A fool and his money are soon departed.
The bolts are 5/16" -18, either 1" or 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" long, depending on the application. 292's also used one a these tanks and did 223's.
The 223 tank is highly desirable, cuz 'ol Shel used it on Cobra's.

I got that coolant tank on my Uni. That 6V would bolt right on. Like we can afford the gas for it now with the Edlebrock. It cost me a lot more than 80 bucks in 2000 when the tank blew to get it re soldered. Took the shop three times to get it to seal up. Now Bill will tell us they are still out there and a dime a dozen.

Ho hum, so what else is new?

I do know where some are NOS, but the boxes they came in got wet, fell apart. Then the junky wrote the part numbers on paper tags, wired them on.
These tanks, using S hooks, are attached to a chain link fence. The tags have faded so badly, the part numbers are now unreadable.
