  1. I inherited a 66 GTO 389 Tri-power from my father in law. It was meticulously restored about 20 years ago but I have had a few issues and would like some guidance. First the starter which is OEM and has been rebuilt a number of times gives me fits. It gets heat soaked and in the best of times just struggles. Now it has given out, again. I am thinking about a mini starter. Has anyone made the switch? Is this a good option? Second, the tri power carbs. When I got it my father in law had disconnected all but the center carb. I think they were just too fickle. I know purists say "keep the tri-power" but would I be better off having a new 4 barrel installed instead (both cost of installation/repair and performance)? I am NOT looking to race, nor to enter the car into any serious car shows. This is a car to take out on weekends with the family and maybe take to an occasional local event or church car show. I am more interested in DEPENDABILITY. Any thoughts????
