I would think of it as a compromise, for the sake of a nostalgic performance look. It can be more troublesome than the four barrel, and you will notice that no racers use tripower any more,...... but for "cool factor" on a street rod, it is a great choice. :-)

P.S. I had a '37 Olds coupe way back in 1967-'68. Never finished it though. I sold it so I would have the money to go to the Indy Nationals! :-)
