Tripower 390 406 410 427 428 Fe 3x2 Intake Carbs Fuel Log Air Cleaner Tri-power on 2040-parts.com

Here's what's included:

Original Ford Intake (2K date code)
2-Outboard Carbs (C1AE-9510-AU)
1-Center Carb (C5AE-9510-A (over-the-counter replacement))
Fuel Log
Aftermarket "Cobra" Tri-Power Air Cleaner Assembly (cast aluminum)
Correct Bottom Oil Splash Pan

The intake is in good shape, but has a couple repairs. The upper thermostat housing bolt area was damaged and professionally repaired (very common) and the heater tube boss was repaired as well. A couple of the threads at the top are damaged, but the remainder are fine and will not hurt the seal. The only remaining issue is the boss for the temp sensor. It will eaither need a helicoil or to be drilled out and tapped for a larger bodied sensor which is what I was going to do. It has been blasted and cleaned and painted with VHT ceramic silver paint. It has not been ported.

The filter basket has been blasted and cleaned, and the wire mesh has been cleaned.

The oil splash pan has been lightly blasted and cleaned.

The carbs I'm sure will need to be rebuilt and the air cleaner will need to be finished to your taste. A new air cleaner is included, and the center carb's choke was swapped out for an electric choke.

Original set-ups are getting hard to come by, and the prices keep going up. I will ship this in two boxes, so shipping is an estimate. It will go in two boxes, and will probably be somewhere in the $60-$90 range to ship. If you want to save some money, check out my CL ad for Metro Detroit.

Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for fitment. Please check your application prior to bidding.

This is a 40+ year old part, so it is being sold as is. I have taken photos to show details and attempted to describe this as best I can listing any KNOWN issue, defects, or imperfections. I am not perfect and can miss things at times. Should this happen and you are not satisfied, please contact me so we can discuss your concerns. I will happily answer any questions you may have about this part, but the buyer is ultimately responsible for researching the fitment for their specific application. Payment is due within 5 days. If you cannot make payment within 5 days, please contact me ASAP so we can work something out. If I do not receive payment within 3 days of the end of the auction and you have not contacted me, I reserve the right to relist the item immediately. Please don't bid if you don't intend to pay. Negative feedback will be left for non-paying bidders and they will be reported. This is a used part that needs restoration. It is being sold as-is, without warranty.

About Me, Feedback, Star Ratings, Shipping, and Ebay Fees - please read before bidding.
First, thanks for checking out my auction. I am not a dealer, wholesaler, reseller, etc. I am a hobbyist who has parted out a couple of cars in order to raise money for my project vehicles. It's how I finance them. From these vehicles, I sell the parts. They are used. Most times they can't be tested and I will state this in the auction. I won't sell junk. Some parts are rare, or tough to find in good cosmetic condition, so in some cases I will sell a part that does not work which will be clearly stated in the auction. I always pack an item as if I was sending it to myself and I wanted it to ship as cheaply as possible and arrive undamaged. Some items I have to guess at weights or shipping, so shipping may look high. I refund all overages beyond cost + eBay shipping fees of greater than $1, and invoice all shortages of $1 or more. I make no attempt to profit on shipping. As a car guy who buys here also, I don't like it when sellers profit on my shipping as well. On rare occasion I will charge a fee for materials when I need to purchase a large box (can cost me as much as $12) or specific packing materials. I am mentioning all of this because it leads back to feedback, star ratings, and fees.

UPDATED FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Because I am now charged 10% on all shipping fees for the right to ship you the parts you have purchased, I must now add an estimated "handling fee" to cover these costs. I have always tried to keep shipping costs down, especially for international shipments, but with USPS dramatically increasing their rates and you-know-who piling on, I have to pass these cost through. I will still continue to only charge what it costs me (within a buck either way) and refund any overages as I believe it is the right thing to do. I will also continue to offer as many of my auctions to international buyers (where it is reasonable). For all buyers, the postage rate you see on the package will no longer match what you are charged, and I am very sorry to do this, but it is costing me 10% from eBay and an additional 3% from PayPal and the international shipping is so high it is costing me a fortune. My only other option would be to stop shipping internationally, and I don't want to do that as so many sellers already have. Please feel free to let eBay know how you feel about their policy and thank you for your understanding.

Feedback on Ebay has a direct impact on your ability to reach sellers. Typical fees around 15% of the final sale price on an item between Ebay and PayPal fees. It's a lot of money and the rates only go up, however Ebay does offer discounts to sellers who keep their star ratings high. BUT, as stated above, I'm not a business. I can't guarantee next day shipping and I won't. I have kids so sometimes it take me 2-3 days before I ship so I do NOT get these discounts even with my VERY HIGH star ratings and 100% satisfaction.

I had a complaint about shipping time to a buyer in Canada and received a reduced star rating as a result. It took 22 days from the time of purchase to reach him. As it turns out, I shipped his item within 12 hours of payment and customs held the package up. Nothing I could have done, but the lower rating had already been left. So, if there is an issue, please do contact me first. Thank you.

Thanks for your consideration, your bids, and your purchases.
