There are a number of different "YF" carbs out there. Your picture is too fuzzy to see which model number that one is.

There is a stamped "model number" on the side of the main body casting which can be decoded to figure out what it's original application was before going further in this process. You also need to pay attention to the base casting number to make sure it's a correct match to the body as someone else's previous work/rebuild may have resulted in mismatched parts. frown

A big helpful info source on Carter Chevrolet YF 235 aftermarket carbs is provided by our own member expert "carbking". This link is just one of many to his "Shop" and I am sure he will probably chime in here with helpful info as he can.

Pic below is a snapshot of where to look for the "model" number on the "YF" you have.

Hope the one you found will work for your 235. thumbs_up

1962 C10 with a 235 6cyl -- all of the drive train seems to be original.

Some people like a new truck. I liked the old ones.
