Postal,

Most likely the determining factor is what clutch housing (bell housing) you have. If it is the original '47 housing from your 216, the 216 cover is what you need.

Most likely you do not have the '55/235 clutch housing because it has different motor mounts than are used on the '47 engine/frame. As I recall, the '55 clutch housing has two flywheel cover-pieces - I do not recall what the cover set-up is on a pre-54 clutch housing.
