Your original motor would have two studs coming through the valve cover holding it in place. Side cover would be a large tin piece that extends all the way from valve cover (around the plugs) and down behind distrib. The 292 is a much later motor has two 6" tall side covers distrib is not centered along the block but way foreward.
