Better check that casting number again- - - -3835911 is for a 1954 235 with a Powerglide transmission (possibly Vette), and it's also listed as a 1955 235, no mention of transmission. Your 33 at the beginning of the number is probably a 38.

The stamped number on the pad behind the distributor will give you a better idea whether or not it's really a Corvette application.
