i have a 1961 235 engine in my 1946 truck im fixing up...as of now I have a carter YF 1 barrel on it that was on the 261cid engine the truck had in it...I also have (needs rebuilt) the Rochester 1bbl carb that was on the 235 that came out of a 1961 c30. Would the original carb for the engine probably work best?

The carter YF has some funky linakge that im having trouble rigging to work, i think from what i read i'll need to fab a bracket to make the throttle pivot pin an inch or so father forward on this newer 235, but the rochester still seems like it would work better in regards to the linkage..

other downside to the rochester is i wont be able to use my original oil bath filter...

any help with carb choice and or pictures of throttle linkage for later 235 in a 1946 truck would be greatly appreciated!
