Take the plug with you so you get the right size. Any auto parts store should have one.
I know Napa does.

I am pulling my 230 out of my 65 now. Where do you guys recommend placing the chain?

you can try replacing the chain but I think they are gears in there.

RichardJ · 01-21-2011, 09:26 PM

I usually pull the engine with the intake and exhaust off. I use one of the rear intake studs on the left rear and there is a pad on the right front with two bolt holes.

The heads usually had two short locating pins, one on each end, two studs, one in the third hole in from each end and the rest were just bolts.
I have pulled the pins and installed studs in every hole. Eight studs in all, instead of just the original two. It makes it a lot easier to replace the gasket, intake and exhaust at the same time.

Ynotnow817 · 01-21-2011, 11:51 PM

Thanks for the info. I got it out.

Why the chain?

If you do decide to R&R the timing gears go with metal. Plastic gears could suck, even on a 230.

Hey 68 IRON-what carb is that you have? I have the same one, but I don't think it's stock.

At least, it's different from every other 1bbl I have laying around here.

68 IRON · 05-11-2011, 10:09 AM

I'll check it out and see if I can get a number off it. The truck came with maintenance records back to the original sale.

68 IRON · 05-12-2011, 11:29 AM

Pritch, haven't check the paper work that came with truck but on the front bowl it says Rochester Monojet made in USA GM

69-72 · 05-12-2011, 09:18 PM

My 292, don't know if I should put this in my Jimmy or rebuild the 250 it came with.

The 250 might get a little weak driving all my accessories

That's pretty cool, maintenance records like that.

My carb has those same markings, but I haven't taken it off yet to see if there are others somewhere else. I think I'm running a tad rich so I'd like to find out about tuning it. I only see 1 screw to mess with though, except for the idle adjust, so how tough could it be?

These seem to sit up a little higher than the stock carbs, and the throttle linkage geometry seems a little off, on mine anyway. Do you notice that too?

Hubscrub · 05-12-2011, 10:10 PM

Great thread guys, i love the inlines now i've had two and sadly they were pulled for a small block i still have one i plan on useing for a project.

292's pull their own weight. I have a '72 Blazer project I intend on mounting a 292 L6 into, w/Rockwell 221/SM465. Currently that chassis has 3.08 gears but I may change it. It's all a long way off.
The 292 in a K/ series truck requires a special [diagonal] crossmember.

I haven't noticed it. But then again I don't know what normal would be...haven't seen what a truly stock setup looks like. I'll get a better look today. The records that I have only go up to the early 80's...not bad though!
No record of carb change. But I can tell ya the dealer was dealing with maniflold leaks early in its service.....like I am now

That looks like a stock carb to me, but it depends on the year. My 70 had a carb like that on it that was original, but I replaced it with a Holley Reman, and I got a later casting that has a vent port on the left side of the float bowl. I will try to post a pic later. As far as manifold leaks, are you talking about intake or exhaust?

Wow... 292 w/ powersteering, a/c, and power brakes.

That will be nice running in something.
