Thanks for the tip about over tightening. Hopefully it will work and I won't be cleaning up a mess.

Thanks Darrell. Going to see if I can make it work without leaking.

I am replacing the oil filter adapter (canister to screw on) on my 272 because it was leaking from the gasket area that goes between the adapter plate and the block. Received the new one yesterday from "Macs". The instructions say that the 1" slot cut through the plate goes on top and stamped...

Hello folks. Anyone have a source for the header bolts for rams horns on a 272? They are two different lengths. I found one vendor (CJs), but they are out of stock. Thanks, Glenn

Thanks Mike, I found that one too and ordered it. My heater has a control valve on the hose that goes to the heater core.

No, mine is just a short one in an L shape without the silver thing on top in the picture. It does look like it is screwed into the intake with a square top and the hose fitting coming out the side of that square.

Hello folks. What is the name of the coolant fitting near the front center of the intake on a 292? (The one that runs to the heater core) Just found mine to be pretty corroded/thin and would like to replace it.

Thanks Ron, that is what I am looking for, nice rumble but not annoying inside. I know my interior insulation will have a lot to do with that.

Thanks guys, one of those things that is hard to choose sometimes. This is my first 292, so a little different for me. Have only dealt with 260s, 289s, 302s and 351s in the past. I know the 292 is a whole different animal (to some degree).

Hello folks. I found some vintage Rams Horns for my 292. While I think the crossover pipe is kind of cool and vintage, I would like dual exhaust out the back. So, with that in mind, has anyone tried 40 series Flowmasters on their 292 and can you provide any advice? I want a good rumble and won't...

Mine appears as though it will work fine. I cannot really tell if the front crossmember has been moved or not, but there is at least an inch of clearance between the crossmember and the sump portion of the oil pan. No worries with that, just need to get the front engine mount up about 1/4 of an...

Hi Mike, I did not get your PM, not sure why. I have it my settings to allow PM and emails, but nothing came through. I will try to message you. -Glenn

It appears the front crossmember has been moved forward at some point in time to allow for the front sump oil pan to work in the engine bay. It is not running now because the motor has dropped just enough in the front since being installed to cause the dampener/crank pulley to be resting on the...

Thanks a lot DMS, great info. It appears I have a 292 from a “full size car” and I am okay with that. The timing chain cover currently on the motor is like the unpainted one in your pictures. The one I required (and had a little trouble finding) is like the red one. After 2 hours of sand...

Thanks Mike, forgot to add my location when I registered, got it now. Also, thanks for the other sites as well. Steep learning curve for me with the Y-block.
