Yep.
A "six pack". Triple dual carbs. Was what I ran on the 440 Magnum in my Coronet R/T

More complex and difficult to dial in yes... but not as bad as the dual Solex carbs on early Datsun Fairlady roadsters - I spent way too much time with vacuum gauges... |

The diagnostics consisted of how did it sound and smell. Give me a couple of screw drivers, an adjustable wrench and a nail file and I could get peak (for the condition) HP out of that old Ford of yours in an hour or so. Tuning my car now I wouldn't have a bloody clue where to start. Screens and screens of numbers that mean nothing to me but not a single screw to twist a micron or linkage to bend a fraction of a millimeter to get just the right exhaust odour.

LOL Freakin' rice burners didn't have clue how a REAL engine worked! "Vacuum gauges" how cute.
