    If the motor mounts are straight across it is a 250, if the mounts are staggered it is a 292. The fuel pump is 1968 or early .

    The stock engine had 2 bolts that held the valve cover on
    It was either a 216 or a 236. That's not the original engine.

    Is it a 250 or 292? I can't tell from the video. Why are you going to order a starter? It seems to be working well. It's pretty simple to put brushes and bushings in them, by the way. I have the HEI distributor with the big body and external coil on my 292, so there's room for it. I have an Offenhauser 4 barrel manifold and a QuadraJet on mine, but a two barrel probably makes more sense, as even the original MonoJet is obviously entirely adequate. There's such a thing as having too big a carburetor. Some later 292s did use a progressive two barrel, but I think they had the integral head/intake manifold setup. Maybe you can still get an adapter to mount a two barrel on the original manifold, if that appeals. I haven't seen one for the progressive two barrels, but I had one for the older 2GC style carbs. You can get some idea of the year range of your engine by whether the spark plugs take a 5/8" or 13/16" socket. The first 292s came with gasket ring seat ,13/16 hex plugs. Tapered seat plugs with 5/8 hex ("peanut plugs") were used in later engines. I have the idea that 1969 may have been the year they were first used, but Rock Auto's listings, with their excellent parts pictures, should be informative. It was nice to hear the old six fire up.

      I believe it's a 250. the starter drags and often fails to engage. I would buy an aftermarket starter with all new parts. usually better than the original. I don't know how to rebuild a starter. I have never been taught to be a michanic. the extent of my training is small engines in high-school. I got a c lol. besides a new starter is under 100$. and with my limited skills easily changed. also evey part of that starter could be 50 years old. if this were an all original truck I might consider sticking with originality. but sence it's not my goal is drivability. I don't remember the spark plug size but the socket is still out there I will check. webber 2 bbl I would think would bring better fuel economy and reliability. compared to a 50yo carb. I think a 4bbl would be over carb. thanks for your input I appreciate your comments.
