Do you have pictures with all belts in place? I have a similar setup, but I can't tell how you are driving the alternator. The factory image only shows the PS belt and doesn't show the alt belt, but it is needed.
They show their Alt belt in front of the PS belt. On mine, the water pump pulley is agaist the pump so I am assuming they had a completely different balancer than I am using.

An idler for the AC belt is a nice idea because of the long run, but I haven't found it necessary on mine.
I wanted to mount the Ac compressor as low as I could on the 292 so I used a External coil HEI. Maybe too low. I still have to take the belt off and raise the compressor to get the cap off.
Nice turbo setup.

When I find which shelf I stuck my A/C belt on, I will take pics. But as far as the alt and P/S belt I have mine ran exactly as you do If you adjust your alt and p/s pump correctly with the spacers pushing the alt away from the engine block further, you can obtain enough drive surface on the alt.

Do you have the part numbers for the alternator and power steering belts in your set-up?

This thread rules! I have been wanting a 67-72 c10 with a 250 or 292 lately but they have been a pain to find.

Buy a fixer-upper with a 350 and drop that boat anchor and put in an L6.

Jimbabwe · 08-16-2013, 11:08 AM

Here's mine.

pritch · 01-26-2014, 10:28 PM

I had a crazy idea to hard pipe my by-pass lines. It was a PITA to do, but I had a couple of reasons for wanting to do this.

I know that the first thought is how difficult it will be to change the fan belt. I'm willing to accept that. That's why I put a union where I did.

I figure if I don't like it, I can change it later.

67swb72klb · 08-15-2013, 10:51 PM

not mine saw it in town last week

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 08-16-2013, 06:48 AM

That is a sweet lookin' mill. What's he running for carbs? Looks like 2 Holleys... Two Barrels?
I covet his valve cover.

Beetle · 01-26-2014, 10:53 PM

250 in my 70 GMC

Codez67Chevy · 01-26-2014, 11:07 PM

I'm planning on running Clifford's cam, intake, headder, and the 4bb carb plate. But I just can't decide which carb to use? And also convert to HEI.

louaxtjr · 01-27-2014, 12:05 AM

The new and improved 292 in mine. Replaced the original 250 with this.

I have a 292 with Clifford headers, Offy intake and 4Bbl Edelbrock 1404 500 CFM carb. I like it a lot. I ran the Holley 4160-R8007 390 FCM for 25 years, but after rebuilding the engine, the Holley crapped out [after only 250,000 miles!], Since a new throttle plate was almost as much as a new carb, I went with the AFB type Eddy. They're a lot easier to tune.

louaxtjr · 01-27-2014, 09:42 AM

The Offy intake with Holley 390 has been a solid performer for me. It has been almost 2 years since installing, and no problems to date. I did swap the electric choke for a manual cable choke, but otherwise haven't touched the carb since the first week. The truck sees some around town driving, but also tows my 24' Airstream regularly.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 01-27-2014, 01:44 PM

I also converted my 390 Holley to manual choke, plus adding a 50cc accelerator pump and converting the rod-style gas pedal linkage to a throttle cable. I have Pertronix Ignitor II which works real good.

Codez67Chevy · 01-27-2014, 02:35 PM

Boy I can't wait to get my motor rebuilt and put some extras on it.

Mine is finally nice enough to post here.

pritch · 05-25-2014, 11:22 PM

Very nice, guys! I can't wait to hear mine run. It's getting real close now.

swamp rat · 05-26-2014, 12:17 AM

I was at a flee market today and found a 6 cyl HEI in a box of other stuff, i passed on trying to buy it because i had no idea if it would have came out of a chevy, f*rd or Mopar.

Can anybody tell me from experience how i may have known? brand name or something else like drive gear size/count or something else? Thanks!

Green69c10 · 05-26-2014, 03:21 PM

Here's mine. 250 in my 69 Stepper

VWNate1 · 05-28-2014, 08:29 AM

Find a used distributor from any 194/230/250/292 I6 and memorize what the drive shaft & gear look like , then you'll know when you find the next one .
Never , EVER ask a Swap Seller ' will this fit my XX ? ' as they'll almost always say " ! YES ! " just to sell whatever it is .

Yea i knew better than to ask, he would have said it worked fine and then i would have been stuck with it, i was tempted to ask him what it came out of but not tell him my needs, didn't do it.

I was hoping folks would chime in with some info and maybe some pic's too, Thanks for your reply!
