    Ok long story very short march 2023 194 quit in the stock 63 Chevy II. I pulled the motor and powerglide together and installed a 67 Chevy 250 with a already connected liquid-cooled powerglide. Since it came with the Weber 32/36 Carb with a cracked body i just replaced it with the same 32/36...
  2. Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
    I'm trying to add the power steering pump to my 250 inline 6. The engine is a 74, I picked up a pump and brackets but the pulley on the pump is too far forward for my pulleys.. Is there a way of changing to a different pump pulley, or so I need something different?

It’s been rebuilt with a good size cam, HEI conversion from a square body, and a dual Weber kit from Clifford performance. I’ve drove it before and it wasn’t perfect but it...

    Wassup y’all, I have a 250 77 Concours with a Rochester electric choke 1bbl carb I’m working on. As I was adjusting the fast idle screw, I noticed the pigtail connector came off (my mistake). I bought a pack of 14 Gauge female connectors to fix the problem; however, now my “GEN, OIL, and...

    Currently looking for the approximate values of the following two items: 1) 250 cid, 6-cylinder engine. 19,5xx original miles. 100% complete, and original as far as I know (?). Pulled from the car and bolted to the stand, that's it (yes, it could use a cleaning). Turns over...

    Ok so I just bought a 77 and within the last week just about every seal and gasket has failed on the 250 Inline 6 and between all the tearing everything down there seems to be one extra vacuum hose. I've looked everywhere I can think of online and under the hood and still nothing

    A little while ago, I picked up a 1973 Nova with a straight six and a three on the tree. At the moment, it runs REALLY rich.
