Center carb is not correct, missing a lot of linkage parts, fuel lines not correct. Basically a parts setup from what I am seeing. $300 intake, $250 each on the end carbs and $100 with of other stuff on there. Just my opinion.

Correct centre carb sells for $750 Canadian. Add another $200 for linkage and fuel line pieces. $30 each for rebuild kits on top of the purchase price makes for a very expensive tripower set up

I had a setup like that years ago when I was thinking about dropping a 348 in my 62 Impala. If memory serves me correctly, the middle carb was strictly for show and sat on a solid gasket with no fuel or linkage connection. Never did use it, but it had been in use that way.

More for show than go!

On the Pontiacs, the center is the idle and the ends are 100% closed till the progressive linkage opens them up and the end carbs act like secondaries.
