Well- some-a them Ponna-acks had Tri-Powers and Slim Jims too, so I guess once again we'd have to look toward the Chief for the answer.

Back when all this speed equipment was contemporary, I'd almost bet the kits came with linkage and guidelines to install it. We have to remember that HydraMatics and Slim Jims were common as dirt back then too, and people understood how they worked.

There wasn't a "kit" for the Pontiac tripower.

The system either came on the car from the factory; or if dealer installed or over-the-counter, the dealer ordered INDIVIDUAL parts by looking them up in the Master Parts Book (not a lot of fun trying to piece together an entire system).
