I appreciate the responses. But, it seems I have a mystery on my hands. I ordered the original specs. from GM for my 1946 Two Ton (assembled at the Janesville WI plant in July of 1946 per the chassis number) and it states very clearly that the engine is a 235 ci and that the carb is a W1-574. Every carb. shop/expert that I talk to tells me that the W1 574 was for the 216 cu. in. engine and won't fit the 236 manifold which calls for mounting holes 2 15/16 inches (center to center) holes rather than 2 3/4 for the 216 intake manifold. This is driving me crazy. I want to go back to original equipment but can't seem to find anybody, expert or amateur, that can give me an answer to this problem. Is there anybody out there that can enlighten me?
