Hi guys im not new here but i read alot of different post here and love the pics here.... I have a question guys and gals... I have a hard to find 1966 GMC P10 steel body in (in progress) and its a L6 engine, I just convert it to a HEI dist but according to my timing marks,TDC is not were TDC is suppose to be so im starting out trying to find out what kinda of motor i have...it reads F0911PE (Flint,sep 11th XX) i check and check the forum and all kindas of websites but that PE is no were to be found

Also with the p10 engine,the timing marks (one notch pulley only) in pic are located at the bottom of the van,not the top like C-series.

And the pic of the screw driver is shown to let you know where the number 1 piston is sitting.....Please advise.

Casting # off the block would be useful too!! And some pictures of the whole engine. There are quite a few things that easily identify a 230/250 vs. 292

Hard to tell what casting numbers are. Can you list them? 39219_ _ is what I make out. Last 2 are 3' or 8's

1963c-10 · 08-19-2014, 07:35 PM

Looks like a nice carb upgrade

240zdogg · 08-19-2014, 08:44 PM

Thanks again everybody, i just installed the carb set up,just need to tune it in. The numbers are 3921968...hope this helps.

probably has the harmonic off of a standard C model 250 (NOT the P that you have) on the crank look for another mark that someone may have filed in it if not then you will need to find top dead and mark it...... to find top dead take an old spark plug BREAK the ceramic out and braze a pin in it maybe 1 1/2" long screw it in the head #1 ....turn by hand till it hits.. TEMP. mark the harmonic then turn crank back the other way till it hits ...TEMP mark there then mark half way between the marks and you have TDC.... JUST NOTICED HI Neighbor JOSHUA TREE HERE

Looks to be a 250. Is that a Weber 32/36?
