Correct 292 carb ID

I’ve got a 65 with a 292. Years ago I installed a parts store rebuild Rochester B that has worked fine, but is now time to be gone through. Before I put in the time and money I’d like to verify it is truly a correct 292 style. How do I identify a “real” one?
Thanks,
Tom

Re: Correct 292 carb ID

Here's the little that I know. There's a lot of variations on the Rochester B, if the carb still has the triangular identification tag, that's your best place to start. If it's missing, I can tell you 2 things, the pump plunger is a different style on the earlier Rochester B (the earlier style uses leather, the later is plastic) and the jet for a 292 is around .072 vs. roughly .058 for a 250. There's not much else to distinguish them other than manual vs. auto choke.

Re: Correct 292 carb ID

Thanks for the info guys. Makes sense that the jets would be larger for the big six. I thought I remembered reading that the bore size was also slightly larger for the 292 applications. Thanks for the link. Looks like he’s a wealth of information and a good parts source as well.

While I’m on the subject, anyone know if there’s a difference between intake manifolds? I know for a fact mine came off a ‘66 with a 250.

Thanks
Tom

Re: Correct 292 carb ID

Look for a triangle shape tag screwed to top of the carb , many are missing but the original number to ID a 292 carb is 7024009 for 1964-1966
