Well its running again. My build was 292 + 0.040" w/ egge pistons all balanced. Ecz-c heads with hard seats, posi valve seals, fresh cut seats and shaved 0.040. Mild regrind by Oregon Camshafts and redone lifters. Pistons avg 0.014" down with Best gaskets so around 0.060 squish so should be maybe 8.8:1ish. With Reds headers and 2 1/2" x-pipe to flowmaster copy mufflers with turndowns in front of axle. Sounds sweet maybe to much cab noise lol.



More pics and maybe video to come.



I am running Autolite 2100 and 57up distributor. So far jetting stock. Had to change accel pump setting to highest hole. And 17 degree initial 34 max mech adv and totlal 47 w/ vac. Has bit of stumble on tip in when taking off.



Any tips on set-up.



Thanks for everyone help along the way especially Tim, Ted and John

wouldn't hurt to try a little more advance. Tune by ear.

Wondering where the vacuum advance hooked up on the later 292's with Autolite 2100?  Was it the port on carb or manifold vacuum?

And any jetting recommendations for the autolite 2100 with mild 292? 

Oh the cam is installed @ 106 L.C.  And vacuum is like 18 on guage if this helps with recommendations.

Attach the vacuum line to the carb fitting on the throttle side.  If the 2100 is a 1.02 a 48 set of jets should be completely adequate, with the range being 46-48.  The stumble may be due to a lag between the forward movement of the throttle and the accelerator pump.  Look closely to see that there is immediate accelerator pump engagement with the slightest throttle.  Adjustment is made by bending the accelerator pump rod in such a manner that it is shortened the required amount.  It is a little surprising that the rod had to be moved to the top hole.  Hot summer temps generally require less pump shot.  Some references say to drop the rod down one hole in the summer, going back up in winter.  Most people just leave it alone on number 3 year round.

If you are going to stay with the 2bbl, at a later time it would be good to look for a 1.08 or 1.14 to replace the undersized 1.02.
