Will the 216 starter work?
Can the 216 carburetor and fuel pump interchange?

Waterpump from 235 might hit the radiator, you have two options - one you can buy short water pump from patricks (my source) or you can have radiator mounting bracket which should move your radiator backwards
Others will add more but mine worked great with short water pump

Ganesh Make that 4. Option 3-You can shorten a water pump shaft yourself a lot cheaper than buying one already cut. However, I believe option 4, the adapter and early pump is your best bet. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 388 | ...you have two options...
