I have swapped 216 and 235 bases with no problems.
I am still not clear on why your base does not have a provision for a vacuum advance line. I have never seen a B model without one.
I think your high rev is due to a vacuum leak, this could be internally in the carb.
You may want to go back to the 216 base and elongate the holes.
