The flange size for a 1950 Chevrolet 235 should be S.A.E. size 3, that is center to center bolt spacing of 2 15/16 inches.

G.M.C. used dozens of different carburetors on different year and application 228 engines. ALL that I have information on are ZENITH size 10 and 11.

Zenith had intermediate sizes; but both the Zenith size 10 and size 11 correspond to an S.A.E. size 2 flange which is 2 11/16 center to center.

The throttle bore on the Zenith size 11 is slightly larger than the Zenith size 10; again BOTH are 2 11/16 center to center.

The Zenith corresponding to S.A.E. size 3 would be Zenith size 12.

If you have a good G.M.C. 228 Zenith carb, perhaps you could find a Chevrolet 216 intake and use the Zenith carb.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
