Will the carburetor insulator and base gasket kit they have on classic parts for a 216 chevy engine work on my 248 . Tks. Mike

I doubt it. There are 2 sizes. One for the 216 that measures 2 9/16" center of mounting holes. The other fits 235 that is 2 1516" Yours probably is the same as the 235 one.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

My GMC 228 is very close to the 2 9/16" c/c with 1.650 " bore.

I think the 228 and 248 use the same manifolds.
If memory serves me .....I think I used that insulator from classic parts.

showkey,

You might want to also st this on the oldGMCtrucks.com discussion board.
https://oldgmctrucks.infopop.cc/eve

I am easily surprised (and, I am ready ro be surprised), but I would be surprised if all 248 manifolds used the same size insulators used on a 228.

There was another discussion on the heads being the same.

http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/chevy-gmc-auto-parts.html#chevy15


FIlling Station catalog lists the 206-216 and all GMC 1939-1959 (except the 302) as the same insulator as 23/4" bolt spread and 1.5 ID which matches my parts as mine was larger than the 29/16" mentioned prior. Part # FS-106

They list the 235, 261 and GMC 302 as the same part with the 215/16" bolt spread 111/16 ID. Part # FS-238
