Post Your Straight Six Pics!

You can hook it up to the intake manifold. It doesn't matter where, just hook it up wherever is convenient at the intake manifold. The booster requires vacuum and it gets it from the vacuum the intake manifold creates.

As a side note, I was out in the garage last night tinkering with the 6 in my Camaro. Trying to get excited about cars and this forum again.

thanks brad! i went out and saw a square headed bolt that unscrewed. now i just need to find some kind of fitting to accept the hose. maybe i can find one at the hardware store. and yes, this site does cure the motivation blues!

Take the plug with you so you get the right size. Any auto parts store should have one.
I know Napa does.

cleaning/repainting mine! here's before, I'll post after shortly I hope. Still peicing it back together!



Don't let this thread die! I love inline sixes!!!

[68 IRON]

Ok, heres mine.....



I'm gonna watch to see how yours does. Might try it myself.

[stsalvage]

Here on the west coast every one pulls out the inline 6 engines and its a shame I feel if you build it and gear your truck right with a 250 or a 292 with a th350 or 400 and then use a gear vender One that i do like is the guy that used the 700R4 with a gear vender made a good runner with a 410 rear gear last gear came out to being a 2.73 for the over drive

update. It should be running very soon!

I have two cars with engine six cylinders.


Chevrolet Veraneio 1967 - engine 261 - turbo


The Pick Up



Chevrolet Caravan 1976 - 250 (original) changed the piston engine increasing to 268





The car


Note:
Engine 250 is the most common and used in Brazil ... Great topic!!!!!

[made2drag]

thanks. bought the hose, fitting and clamps. brakes work great now!

[Old Bluey]

Made2drag - As the thread states....You gotta take some pics!

Lets see the setup with the new booster!

[Ynotnow817]

I am pulling my 230 out of my 65 now. Where do you guys recommend placing the chain?

you can try replacing the chain but I think they are gears in there.

[RichardJ]

I usually pull the engine with the intake and exhaust off. I use one of the rear intake studs on the left rear and there is a pad on the right front with two bolt holes.

The heads usually had two short locating pins, one on each end, two studs, one in the third hole in from each end and the rest were just bolts.
I have pulled the pins and installed studs in every hole. Eight studs in all, instead of just the original two. It makes it a lot easier to replace the gasket, intake and exhaust at the same time.

Thanks for the info. I got it out.

If you do decide to R&R the timing gears go with metal. Plastic gears could suck, even on a 230.

Hey 68 IRON-what carb is that you have? I have the same one, but I don't think it's stock.



At least, it's different from every other 1bbl I have laying around here.

[68 IRON]

I'll check it out and see if I can get a number off it. The truck came with maintenance records back to the original sale.

[68 IRON]

Pritch, haven't check the paper work that came with truck but on the front bowl it says Rochester Monojet made in USA GM

[69-72]

My 292, don't know if I should put this in my Jimmy or rebuild the 250 it came with.

The 250 might get a little weak driving all my accessories

That's pretty cool, maintenance records like that.

My carb has those same markings, but I haven't taken it off yet to see if there are others somewhere else. I think I'm running a tad rich so I'd like to find out about tuning it. I only see 1 screw to mess with though, except for the idle adjust, so how tough could it be?

These seem to sit up a little higher than the stock carbs, and the throttle linkage geometry seems a little off, on mine anyway. Do you notice that too?

I have the same carburetor on my 250. Do you have picture how the choke hooks up to the carburetor?
