A lot of the bellcrank, boomerang parts came with the original Offenhauser intake kit.
I have no pix of the old set up. [Who thought anyone in the ''Future'' would ever be interested in what's under the hood].
Even before I tore down the doghouse on my Orange rig to pull the '67 block out, I rigged my Holley 8007 with a 50cc accelerator pump shot and a cable.
I used parts from a '72 GM truck and a non-Lokar cable.
Pic attached of the cable I have. [Shot of the glovebox spare cable]

I was ever so happy when I switched to cable. I could never get WOT out of that Rube Goldberg set up. I had to relearn how to use the gas pedal.
With cable I had instant response. Hair trigger. Had to keep foot off gas at a light. Wide open throttle was waiting my toe tip.
And no jams, breaks or lag.

Good points both. The bell crank method really looked like a bad idea from the get go.

Here is my 250 in my '69.

It’s a work in progress still. I haven’t decided yet if it’s going in my ‘67 c10 swb, or my ‘67 c50 (shortened big pickup project - still looking for an original orange long box fleetside in decent shape). Thanks to Tom Lowe at 12bolt.com for the unique performance parts.

Nice mill. I like the Chevrolet scripted Valve Cover.
Is that the Offy intake? If so, what carb are you running?

For safety reasons, I would replace the plastic fuel filter over the manifolds with a steel-can type.
I had a plastic fuel filter almost melt thru during an engine fire once.

That's a promising looking L25 [292's RPO]. Way cool valve cover. And I dig the pre-1967 Alpine Green. I have a MY '63 292 core that is that Green. I may rebuild it and put it in my '67 K/10 Suburban. And keep it green.

For my 2 cents, I would put the 292 in the '67 C/10 Shortbed. My '68 C/10 Stepside was originally optioned with the L25, and it rocks. I rebuilt my OEM '68 block in 2005 with HiPo options. I ran a '67 292 block from 1977 to 2002, for 250,000 miles until the rings were shot.

I would go with a bigger engine in the C/50. Especially if you're gonna tow with it.
