This 1977 292 came to me very clean but the water pump and thermostat housing had clearly been replaced , I *think* maybe with ones from a 230/250 as there's no by pass hose and all the 292's I've ever seen , have one .
My question :
Should I order up a 292 water pump with by bass fitting ? . I already have a perfect thermostat housing upper & lower from an old 292 so this will be a simple thing to change .
My old 1976 GMC 2500's 292 had this by pass hose .
TIA ,
