I have a 53 3100 with what I believe is a 1960 235 (if my casting number translations are correct). I currently have a leaky auto-choke BC model that I'd like to replace with a model B manual choke. I have two model B’s but unfortunately the throttle bodies won’t mount up to the intake (the intake studs are slightly wider). Any one know if there is a 1960 throttle body out there that will mate this up, or am I looking at getting another carburetor all together?
Thanks much,
-cj

I was hoping they might have used the same carb in 1960 so that the set up wouldn’t look like I had to make it fit. I had Napa, Carquest, and Schucks digging through their parts books yesterday...no avail. Their answer seems to be one of replacement over repair. Where have all the old parts guys gone?
