It would be great when at the wreckers to open a hood and say "nope" and move on to the next one, without wasting a lot of time. Also what year trucks are they commonly found in? Thanks, JD
unless your the lead dog, the view never changes!

#46079 06/08/2005 9:06 PM | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Yup, 66/Stepside has it. The quickest, easiest thing to look for is the location of that fuel pump. The fuel pump and the right side motor mount swap positions between the 292 and the smaller sixes. If the pump is in the middle of the block, it's a 292. | | |

Just my thoughts,

This is incredibly obvious once you've seen it. | | |
