Jim,
If your carb is the stock one that came with the 292, its a Holley 4000. Rebuild gasket kits are readily available, but it really helps if you can find an old mechanic who was around in their heyday to do the carb refurbish and tune up for you.

Thanks for the info Gene. Think I know where a Holly 4000 is for sale and I sure will persue it. Jim R
