Please take a look at this Tri-Power set up on E-Bay and let me know if you see any RED FLAGS that are not right or if you think the price is fair. Are these the right Carbs, is there any cracks in the manifold that you see, anything that is not right. This is for a 1962 390cid Cadillac Motor (not a hot rod project) and hopefully no one will buy it before I can.

First off, where are all the linkages?

I see a couple of rods that may be part of the linkage but it looks like some pieces are missing along with all the springs.

Keep Looking. Completely rebuilt , ready to install triple carb setups come up for sale pretty regularly with all of the linkage intact for around the same money. $1500 -$2200.

Missing all the small linkage/spring pieces, center carb choke assembly and vacume assembly.   Great pictures can be found in the factory shop manual.

Even if it's for a 390, it doesn't belong on a '62. 

There were a lot more mods than just the intake and carbs on "Q" engine cars--transmission and rear axles were different.
