You can make it fit by extending the mounting holes, use a saw or abrasive blade. I've seen lots of 216 carbs done this way but of course the actual 235 carb would be best. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 206 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 206 | i dont wanna hacl up a good 216 carb.. And I assume that the bolt pattern is the same, but i wanted to make sure the linkage should be as well? I know there are some diffrences in certin things 59-62 like tranny boss, ect.. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 | I would guess the 216 would have a manual choke and the 235 Impala would have an automatic choke. You can probably still buy a kit at the local FLAPS to convert it to a manual choke.

Is that where my vac advance line goes? Or onthe choke coil cover there is a pipe threading that looks simaler to the vac advan connection that's on my 216 Rochester b. the choke coil cover is metal I thought there were usually plastic . Lol I though it wouldent be a big diff. Now I'm wondering if I should elongate that one... Thanks for your help | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | What about useing the top of the 216 carb on the 235 carb. Change the main jet & power valve spring. Then you will have your manual choke.

Can I combine a b and bc? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You can hook it to that tube. It will probably give you full advance at idle but thats OK. The top part is all you will want to change.

There should be an outlet on the other side for the vacuum advance.

Can you post a pic of that side of the carb?
