I just received my edelbrock 573 intake, front and rear carbs are 94's and middle is Stromberg 97, carbs are in need of rebuilding, there all froze up. Just need to know if this sounds right as far as the combo

just did 1 for me used 3 8ba mod 94,s with progressive linkage  plugged #1 and 3 carb power valves  screwed in #1 and 3  air fuel mixed screws replaced  all 3 throttle plate shafts with longer 1.s  center choke is manual the rest are disconnected, middle carb power valve is #5.5 plus new carb kit,s used a fuel blk  and  a fuel pressure reg  to keep fuel pressure around 3 psi  also with 3 niece air filters looks greats should change dizzy hei ignition  and to 12 volts  hope this helps   bay boy

I used Vintage Speed's base kit on mine with there progressive linkage. Real good quality I highly recommend looking into it. I will let you know in a couple months how it runs when I do my engine swap.

well I got the carbs unfroze and moving good, can any rebuild kits work for these? The engine is a 292 bored .40 over with a cruise night cam, ecz-c heads that were rebuilt and new heavier double springs, newer distributor with petronix kit, currently has a b intake and edelbrock 600cfm that runs great, just thought the tri power would look good, Ive heard the jets need to be a certain size and other things need to be done, any info helps as this is my first tri power setup

I also have 3 holley 94s, never known anyone that mixed carbs so don't know the effect, I would imagine if you just run on the primary and run the outers as dumpers it should be OK-I would just wonder about the linkage, but a few bits and some ingenuity I am sure
It could be done I also have the outer PVs plugged, if you don't plug and block idle circuits on the outers you will have to fiddle with getting them all balance if
You block PV you will have to increase the size of the outer jets to make up for lack of enrichment. I think I have 52 on the primary and 57s on the outers. They function just as dumpers, but if I keep my foot out of it you get good gas mileage running just on the center 2bbl,
After 1/2 throttle they all come on and hit WOT together-its fun and I get cruddy gas mileage 👍Progressive linkage I just made from bits laying around. I did get the banjos from vintage speed and my rebuild kits-they do have the best quality. Got some phenolic spacers from Dashmans as they were a little prone to boiling. I also put a restricter in the exhaust crossover to limit some of the heat. You will also need a pressure regulator as mine and most every 94 on the planet hate anything more that 2.5-3 PSI or they will flood.
You are going to do a lot of tinkering with them but nothing horrible.
there is nothing real easy with using antique mixers and 3x your areas to troubleshoot, but it is a lot of fun. Good luck
