Traded for a non running 49 GMC and am in the process of getting it back on the road again.
Engine numbers indicate I'm dealing with a 79 250 out of a C10 with a 2bbl integrated intake. It came with a Quadrajet and home made 4bbl intake adapter. Needless to say it didn't run worth a hoot.
It's bolted to a TH350 auto (unknown origin) and an open drivetrain to the rearend (unknown origin). 5 lug wheels all around w/power discs in the front and no doubt Bendix shoes in the back.
I located and installed a 2bbl Varajet and have got it running and idling now.
The engine runs pretty good so it's a keeper, atleast for now. I'm currently chasing down vacuum leaks figuring out basic stuff like throttle cable connections and sender locations.
The Varajet has a square throat which is making it difficult to locate an air cleaner to bolt to it. At this point I'd be happy with an OEM.
Anyone that has one collecting dust somewhere heres your chance to get rid of it LOL.
