Those carbs are scarce, and they have a host of design problems that haven't gotten any better with age. Try to find a Carter YF calibrated for an AMC/Jeep 258 cubic inch six. It will have the same manifold stud spacing as the Rochester, and it's a much better design. The 292 carb would run pretty lean without some major rejetting. Jerry
