the 292 was already in it when I got the car. But it had the 3 spd. tranny in it out of a nova so the guy told me. He had reworked the clutch linkage and it seemed fine. After a little coaxing,(the car had been sitting for a couple years), Igot it running and drove it up and down the road for a while. The clutch worked like a champ. Everything new in there. I took a careful measure of the disc in the 292 housing and it came 10" spot on. Like I said, I can get one made. Little spendy, but what you gonna do?
