Oops ~
I didn't mean to offend , those are the facts jack . FWIW , I'd rock a Camaro if I had the $ . I had a '67 RS for a while , it's was an O.K. not great car . I don't hawk anything here , please don't lie . All I do is offer FREE PARTS (do you ?) and Technical Advice that's good and works .

Plus of course, the old oil & grease helps retard rusting ! .
I used to live in Upstate New York in the 1960's lotsa good tin was lost to rusting =8-( .

Another thing learned here ~ thank you ! .
Do you know what year the head is ? . I'm curious as I have never seen the alignment pins pressed in .

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I've posted on here before, but thought I'd share my recent ongoings. Recently pulled the engine and trans for a complete rebuild while I restore the rest of the truck. Thought it was funny you can see where I repainted it while in the truck. Apparently I couldn't get the back of it!

What HEI distributor is that? Looks like a Mallory cap. I did not know they made an L6 product. I have a Pertronix Ignitor II kit in an Accel Blueprinted AC/Delco distributor, but I get this high RPM cut-out gripe and I'm thinking of going full HEI.

The Distributor is one of those really really expensive (sarcasm) FleaBay deals. Looks and works great though, except never could get the vacuum advance to work properly. That may have been operator error though. ![]()

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Hmm, the Ryan Falconer L6, available as a crate engine, starting at a mere $45 grand. This was co-developed by Ryan and GM for their Baja Trophy trucks and Pikes Peak hill climber trucks. The engine is loosely based on the 292 but is 24 valve and DOHC. The 4.2 liter trailblazer 6, also 24 valve and DOHC, was also used in some of these trucks and what I am using in my project, at about $44 grand cheaper and not that much less capable.

Your truck, your colors, no problem. Most of these hi-perf aftermarket distributors have a variable adjustable vacuum advance can. I think you can use a 3/32nd" allen key to dial in vac advance adjustments. All the way clockwise is O* additional advance IIRC. Crane Cams used to have good instructions you could download. You might try Jegs or Accel's websites for that data. Your red distributor looks like a Mallory or MSD. I looked one up on the internet, but it looked like you need the MSD box to play with their distributor. Also listed for $329. About 3.2 times more than I want to pay. On the way home today, my 292 started running hot, then cut out at about 45 - 50 MPH. [Air temp about 100*. 40% humidity. Uphill run. Truck parked in sun during 7 hour shift.] I coasted into a Safeway parking lot, turned off the Ign Switch, re-started again and it started up. I was about 3 miles from home, and I made it driving carefully. L6s very rarely will vapor lock. I think my Pertronix Ignitor II is cooked. Looked like an unusual eccentric wobble. Could be the water pump going too. I'll either get a new HEI or try the old points distributor for comparison.

Is the AMC distributor different? I remember the old points caps used to list AMC [+ IH] engines on the side of the boxes. Are the gears different? Not seeing "Late Chevy L6" distributors under Speedmaster. Just AMC and GM V6. KMJ Performance looks interesting. Unbelievably low prices.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Figured i would post some updated photos of mine. All installed in the last week. Offenhauser 5416 intake, edelbrock 500 cfm carb, stovebolt cast headers, and 2 1/4 duals with 22" cherry bombs. Also installed a 194 head.
Pic 1 is shot of carb and intake from drivers side. Pic 2 shows the throttle setup. I used a lokar throttle cable with a bracket i made to mount off the bottom of the carb adapter plate. Pic 3 and 4 are complete shots(before we cut the throttle plate down). Shows my new valve cover also

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
pic 1 shows the headers and how they clear the z bar and steering.
pic 2 shows the front view of the headers. If you look closely you will see i had to modify the z bar to clear the front down tube. I just cut it off and flipped it over to miss the pipe. Pic 3 shows were i tee`d into the water housing to pipe in the coolant for the intake. Pic 4 was a before pic

WOW ! some amazing photos here .
Can anyone detail the difference in cylinder heads ? . Why use a 194 C.I. head for example . I have three 292's and will be cherry picking to build up one nice one then sell off the left over parts .

Higher CR , I see .
Are the valves the same size ? . As I work my engines pretty hard and want them to last decades at the same time , I typically build them with low CR and big valves so they breathe well and run cool , you can work 'em mighty hard and they don't break , overheat , knock or diesel / ping on pump gas either . FWIW , I'm using an original unrestored 1977 Nova GM HEI setup (the one with separate ignition coil) on my clapped out 250 CID engine and it never misses on the rare occasion I run it up to 5,000 RPM's . The linked one looks nice and @ $60 is a steal but maybe not necessary ? .
