Also the mounts for the carbs are closer together than my carb on the 235. Is this perhaps made for a 216?????? | | |

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

Offenhauser is still in business, and while somewhat slower than the normal US mail; they will make any manifold they have ever made. Same excellent quality as their older products.

I guess its back to e-bay now and look some more. | | |
