A carb for a 235 would be a single barrel, a 283 is a two barrel. I found an AUTOLINE PRODUCTS LTD. number in an old catalogue C912 AUTOLINE is from Winnipeg Manitoba | | |

Or find an old timer that can do it. Half the reman carbs don,t work right & don,t match the engine. If you do get a reman Of all things don,t turn in the old carb. untill the the job is done & you are satisfied. Check with Carbking. He posts a lot on this websight & can rebuild it for you or give some ggod advice.

The right 4GC should improve both gas milage and performance. Ask Jon (carbking) for the right numbers to get the perfect carb.

If Carbking is being recommended on this site,you can be pretty sure you'll get a quality rebuild there. These guys don't settle for cutrate work.
