Not hard to see in your pics that the pump is in front of the mount making it a 230 or 250. The other clue to your story is that Camaro’s never got a 292 from the factory.

That makes sense about the engine being a 250. To be honest with the wire Im not sure, I know with the old distributor the wires were pretty frail but Im not sure if its a 12 volt wire, but yes I did hook up the original wire to the BATT side of the HEI.
