Jim,

Here is a photo of the 216/235 /261 truck vacuum-advance without the clamp. I think the advance mechanism that is at a different angle is for an automobile 235. Jim Carter has the truck vacuum advance new and used.

Yes, you need a clamp. I guess that Jim Carter (and, maybe Chevy Duty, also) expects that you will use the old clamp.
