Hey! I bought a carb kit for my '55 2nd- series 2-Tonner, same kit as pick-up 235's. From what I've learned, Chevrolet used the B-style carb on their 216's,235's,261's,and 250's,from the late '30's up until the early '60's. If this set-up was good enough when the truck was new,as far as I'm concerned, it's still good enough today. I purchased my rebuild kit from L.M.C.,and I think the list price was around 13.00, not including shipping. This has got to be about the simplest carb to overhaul,too! (PLUS-PLUS)!! It took me longer to clean the crud out of the body,than it did to rebuild it. Just make double-dam-sure that you use the float gauge (included),or else you will experience either flooding issues,or fuel-starvation issues. The float-set is a little tricky,but once you get her adjusted,she ought to purr like a kitten. I hope this helps! Sincerely: Bill Hickey
