Decal placement

[terbronco7]

I am looking for a reference as to where I can put my decals in the engine bay, anyone have info on this or pictures? also which ones were on the 65 c10? Also dont know if this is a 230 or 250 is there a way to tell the difference? Not real familliar with the I6 Thanks as always.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1401896613

check the engine for stamping number on pasanger side of block and it will tell you that. the first few number combos should be "con 2 or con 4. then the date code starts with a letter which is the month then 2 numbers which are the day the last number is yr. then the stamping numbers are 7 digits long and that will tell the engine displacment. mine is (con 2. I 306. 3851659) not sure what "con 2" is, but its sept 30 1966. I6 292. hope this helps

Check out this thread around post 295 for tons of good factory engine assembly pics of the conveyor line

con 2 is the conveyor line that it went down during production. Con 2 = conveyor 2

Good pic of conveyor taking engines to the train for transport c1958

I agree with you on the flywheel. I'd go for function over looks since no one will ever see it.

Not sure when the change was made, but it looks like your valve cover has a press-fit rubber oil filler plug like my '71 250 does, and my '69 doesn't (not sure of when the change was made). AFAIK, the 63-66 truck engines all had script valve covers with only a twist-in breather and PCV valve hookup (later engines have another hole in the side to pull filtered air from the air filter instead of a breather). IIRC, '75 was when the integral head came out, so just by looking at it I'd guess you have something like a '70-'75 250.

Checked out your website....pretty cool!!

Engine decal is on the side of the valve cover. I've seen the decals about 1/2" - 3/4" higher than where I placed mine also.....can't say which is more correct, but you get the idea.

My stock 230, pre-clean. Decal is right up where the top edge of the cover is, and it starts just in front of that bolt recess.

Thanks, 1963c-10. I really need to go back through the site and redo it when I get back home. I actually had a page of visual clues like that for the 230-250's pretty much finished, but I never got around to putting it up. I'll have to at least get a good inline six ID page like that up soon, considering this is at least the second time that the subject has came up today!

Jay, did someone just stick a later oil filler cap in the place of the breather because they didn't know better, or does your engine have provisions to pull air from somewhere else for the PCV? I thought all the engines with the early script valve covers like that (that's what it is, right?) came with/were supposed to have a breather for the filler cap so that the PCV has somewhere to pull clean air from.

It was like that when I got it. I believe it should have a breather, although that filler cap looks very old. I'll find a breather for it somewhere...
