Default Replacing Chevy carburetor

I am working on a 1968 c50 Chevy with a 292 6. I am replacing carburetor. My my question is what years have the same bolt pattern for the carburetor.

If its the Rochester 2 barrel carb, I'd wager something in the range of 1966 to 1980.

It is actually the one barrel. I don't know the proper verbiage but I'm trying to use a carburetor that has the vacuum line on top of the float bowl.

Only two vehicles I've owned that had single throat carb was a rambler, and a metropolitan. If it's a Rochester, or at least I know on the 2, and 4 barrell, there is a number that will get you to what the specifics are for that carb.

Thanks everyone for the help I ordered one we'll see what happens. My concern was the bolt pattern. I can make everything else work.

The Rochester is a good carb. I believe that the Strombergs were pretty good too. I'm a fan of Holley carbs, but not sure they made a one barrel carb. Here is a good selection of one barrel carbs for your 292 cubic inch inline six Chevy motor:
