If my truck had a 292, I probably would have gone sideways quadrajet. If you use a carb for late 70s 305 (has electric choke and uses a throttle cable), you can mount sideways, use a 71-72 gas pedal, and have a throttle cable that takes the pain out of setting up a linkage system.

I went with that carb on my 283 and it has worked great. I used a 73-87 gas pedal which didn't turn out as great as I was hoping. One day I'll change it to a 71-72 pedal
