I believe you will find that the accelerator linkage pivot on the 62 235 need to be moved forward. I have a 62 car 235 in my shop that a friend bought for his 51 car and he found that was a difference from the 216. We have not installed yet because of his health. It’s a 16000 mile mother that was complete with a Powerglide trans, not sure what he plans now.

I put a 54 truck 235 in my 51 3100 and there was no problem with the accelerator linkage.
