it is a factory built trailer used to be a camper. my nephew was scraping metal so i got it from him before he cut it up. have to remove the step, tank off the propane tank support, build a set of ramps,then go get it registered

had the car running but it runs kinda ruff and stalls go on line and find out you cant use 3 primary carbs in a row they just wont work it'll run like crap. really gee why didnt i find that out before god i love the internet. so i got a tri power rebuild kit from speedway motors seems to be a pretty str8 forward rebuild. the orginal GTO tri power has the front and rear carbs blocked no air or fuel mixture screws and no power valves this kit swaps out the 2 base plates and has all jets and gaskets needed etc .so this is what ill be doing for a couple of evenings after work as always thanks for following this little project of mine and have a great night

well i got the 2 outer carbs done the one that was not working right is better now the pump arm was bent a bit,so i just exchanged it with a different one. changed the jets to #55 and did other lil mods this should run fine now
