The spacing of the mounting holes was different, so it would not work. I sure an expert will be along to clarify....

This link will help you identify the W-1 carbs: http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/CarterChevroletW1.htmFor the 235, best would be either a 483s or 574s. The 684s will function equally as well, but will be significantly more expensive. Jon.
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 | | |
