Found out most Chevy I6s (mine) have integral intake manifolds which is an instant no no. Tracked down the block numbers and found that it was a 71(?)-79 250 block, tracked the carb numbers 17057014 and found it is a 77 (5th digit indicates) year. Because its a monojet it probably came outta a 1977 Camaro or Nova because the trucks straight 6 had a two barrel. Nothing but a carb rebuild and a set of plugs and it runs like a champ!! Two pumps on the gas pedal and she fires right up, runs nice and crisp. No smoke and idles all day at 190 degrees without a shroud. Believe me, I've let it idle for a looong time to make sure its not gonna overheat.
