I just noticed its a 235 instead of the GMC 228 I expected. I'm a little biased toward the GMC's myself, but you'll find performance parts easier and cheaper for the Chevy.

I know the lady who I bought it from said they had it since 56 but I don't know when the 235 went in. It'll stay for now. I have thought about using one of my BBO I have a 425 or 455. But It feels "right" with a six for now at least. Other than the carb swap it'll stay stock for a spell.

Here are links to other threads re: my panel but please don't post there as I am trying to post everything on this thread.

Spent a little time on the carb install/linkage. Its a slow go but its outside and every time I open the hood the rain starts up. My luck.
Tried to find info on linkage but not much out there on the web.
So I messed around till it worked. Have concerns about the stress on the pivot bolt. We'll see.
Carb in the nicest thing under the hood now. I better cover it with an ugly air cleaner
