Pair of 73 Triples

[Philh]

Good eye! It's a 74 500 H1 triple that Pepsled gave me.  He saw a pic on the wall of my shop with me back in the day astride my 74 Green h1. He says, hey I got one of those, it's even green too, ya want it? Next week he shows up with it in his pickup! I need to restore it, buts is all there.

Hey Phil,

What is the correct amperage fuse are you using in those tachs? Any ideas what is correct?

[Philh]

I will have to look when I get home. I'm not sure what the correct fuse is off hand.

Looked at the three regulated triple tachs that I have.  One has a 20 amp fuse, the other two are stamped BUSS ACC 1/4 AMP  250 volt.  Unfortunately, I do not know which is the correct factory fuse.

Holy crap, you are doing some very nice work there.

Congrats.

Hey Phil -
Beautiful shop! You are the envy of many.
I have a 73 Starfire project going as well.
How did you get the tunnels and bulkheads
so clean from paint.
Were they chemically stripped? Thanks

This is my delemma too, I smoked a triple tach cause the fuse never blew When I get the sled out of the corner I'll check the size and tell you what NOT to use.

Hey Mike,  I chemically strip the chassis and then gently sand blast the areas I can't get at with the stripper.  Then DA sander with 220 followed by scotch brite pads.  I put a new tunnel on the 440 so that explains how clean that one is.

Nice work Phil !!  ( again. 😉 )  what tunnel did you use to work another starfire one or something else ?  I have one that's missing the running boards on as it was cut down 😢  Keep up the good work !!  Dale

[Philh]

Hey Dale, my original 440 tunnel was bobbed (shortened) as were so many of the Starfires back in the day.  I bought a new repro tunnel from Jay Bouley (Bouley Built) a couple years ago and that is what you see here.  Not sure if he is still making sled stuff or not.  A number of guys are making them now from what I hear.

phil - thanks !!  I have one that's bobded and one that the running boards were narrowed. I just nee the tunnel not the bulk head. might try the 73 tx tunnel thing yet as I have 1 of them.  keep up the good work !! dale

Talonic cleats sent to me by a friend for the 440 track. Thanks bud!

If you have centurion ignition in your triple you need to wire in a voltage regulator.
