I have a 6cyl, but which one? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shifty · 03-07-2005, 03:01 PM

Thanks, Putter.

I would like to steal the A/C from another truck, if possible. A/C is on the list of things to buy in the future.

This thing came with nothing

No PS
No PB
No A/C
No tilt
But best of all - no excessive rust

It sure did come with a lot of miles though :p

Putter · 03-07-2005, 03:12 PM

Sounds like my '69 that I got from Grandpa. Same color as yours and same options....NONE.

ROBBY WHITE · 03-07-2005, 07:00 PM

Hey, Robbie, hang in there. This might be a premature offer, but I'm possibly buying a new 250 for the truck this weekend and it has an electronic ignition system. If I put it in the truck, I'll ship my old ignition coil bracket to you. No worries on the shipping, I get most of that stuff through work for free.

You'll probably want to blast and spray it, it's a little grimy.

I'll let you know ASAP. Probably won't know anything till monday.

ROBBY WHITE · 03-08-2005, 12:37 AM

COOL SOUNDS GOOD I'M IN NO HURRY IT'S JUST SITTING AROUND BEING WORKED ON. I'M NOT DRIVIN RIGHT NOW. THANKS FOR THE OFFER THIS BOARD IS SO GREAT

**passthebuck** · 03-08-2005, 01:28 PM

look at the alternator - its got two belts. i've seen that on lots of dodges but not 250's. it looks cool & all HEAVY DUTY! also notice the alt bracket that has the adjuster slot on it for a ps pump...

shifty · 03-07-2005, 03:24 PM

Oh, mine came with options. I have tons of options on what I can do to the truck.

69 Short Fleet · 03-08-2005, 12:48 AM

Love your truck, mine was the identical color before I changed it. Still like the original color though. $4K sounds like you did very well, regards Doug

Tx Firefighter · 03-08-2005, 08:01 AM

292's also have a big bypass hose on the front of the engine above the water pump.

krue · 03-08-2005, 08:14 AM

Robby, I may have one in a toolbox at the house, it's yours if you want it. Just PM me your address.

saxmo · 03-08-2005, 03:14 PM

that is what I have..mine has the double pulley and ps slot too.

DUDE!

Seriously, I want to put power steering in it this weekend. Do you have PS in your truck?

Does anyone have pics of a PS install for this engine?

I thought that's what the extra slot was for, but I wasn't sure. I don't know what parts I need to install PS.

I know I need the PS pump.
I think I need a steering box.
I am guessing I would need a new pitman arm.

Are there any writeups on the forum explaining how to add PS to an '68 230/250 I-6 like this?

*Gee_Emm* · 03-08-2005, 03:27 PM

The PS brackets are different for 250's and 292's so you have to make sure you get the right ones.

The last diagram you show looks like mine.

Notice the bracket sticking up above the alternator in the left-hand side of this picture (it's orange):

ROBBY WHITE · 03-14-2005, 01:49 PM

Anyone Ever Find An Coil Bracket In There Stuff Still Looking For One

saxmo · 03-08-2005, 03:41 PM

sorry, I don't have the ps on mine. I kinda going with a resdtoration on this one. My 69 swb pickup has all the ps, pb, etc. but it is a V8.. I am doing resto/customizing on it. good luck though.. could be a nice addition.

shifty · 03-14-2005, 02:47 PM

Yeah, I got the new engine in and I'm moving to a new distributor and firing system. I should have the bracket you need, just need a couple of days to make sure the new distributor and ignition system is working correctly (I work during the week; expected to have it done this weekend, but time and weather didn't permit).

shifty · 03-17-2005, 08:20 PM

I think it's the same size of bolt that the grounding block uses. You should have a wire going from the negative side of your battery and it is bolted to the block between the distributor and the water pump.

I believe it's the same size of bolt.

rico_bob · 04-28-2005, 07:58 PM

Let me have the number that is "stamped" on the small pad to the left of the distributor. This is the "build number" The first letter is the Engine Assembly Plant I.D. and the next two numbers are the month, and the last two letters tell which engine it is! My two cent worth

Be happy to send you an interpretation of the pad number code.. rico

Do you know what specs a TUJ block has?

shifty · 04-29-2005, 12:20 AM

I have more pics other than these, they're not downloaded from the camera though.

My newly installed engine:

My old engine:

rico_bob · 04-29-2005, 12:29 AM

Need a little more than just the TUJ Like what year are we talking about and is a V-8 V-6 or in-line 6? rico

67ChevyC10Stepside · 04-29-2005, 01:09 AM

you said that truck has like no options....and it has shoulder belts...are they original?

shifty · 04-29-2005, 01:12 AM

Don't think so.... Just mounted in the original holes in the cab. They don't have a GM emblem on them, they're marine-style belts.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 04-30-2005, 05:21 AM

HI Rico, I wonder if you could run some L6 292 stamped numbers for me?
1] FO626UH ['67 292]
2] FO627XAE ['68 292]
I'm guessing "FO" is for Flint Operations, but that's just a guess.
Thanks in advance.
