In that song "Little GTO" they say "Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine, Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389"
What does three deuces mean ?
4 Speed and 389 i understand, but not sure about deuces

3 deuces is three carbuerators mounted on the intake manifold.
The three carbs each have 2 jets. Thus "Three" (meaning three carbs) "deuces" (2 barrel carbuerators.)
In the days before fuel injection was perfected, the way to get better horsepower out of many engines was to put multiple carbuerators on them.

Three deuces = three two barrel carbs, usually with progressive linkage.

Three 2-barrel carbs. Popular when gas was a quarter a gallon. Even then, unless you were racing, you usually just had one pair hooked up.
