    The FI manifold (above) doesn't look anything like the one originally posted.

    Ditto Mart3406's comments.

    Pontiac was working on a "6-barrel" carb. The throttle bodies in the pictures certainly resemble tripower end carb throttle bodies. Check the thick throttle plates, and the throttle return spring wrapped around the throttle shaft bearing area.

    The Fuel injection set up now Belongs to Pat Lobb. I currently work on some of his Projects. And its been an awesome expireance working on Such unique stuff like this. We are currently working on it and hopefully will have it in running condition soon.

    As i was searching for some random parts i ran into this board and saw the pics of the FI setup... awesome pics.

    looks like the backside (where they mount to the intake) of merc (outboard)carbs. Mercury v-6's use 3 2 bbl carbs. It looks like someone ditched the rest of the carb and jammed the three together to use for the air inlet.

    After looking at the pictures close, I'm nearly certain thaat's what it is. Get some better pictures of the linkage and I could tell you fer sher. Even the springs and the linkage look mercury. If so get the linkage from a v-6 merc, you just need to cut down the linkage because the carbs are futher apart.
