Hi Phil

Will check the 1959 GM shop manual for the exact carb number for the carburator..... also have the parts number manual.

I have also collected a number of Rochester manuals and spec sheets over the years that I can share with you.

On Stovebolt...links to CARB KING...... extremely helpful gentlemen and has all the carb kits required.

Will also send you the carb throat size and bolt pattern that ID a 235 from a 261 carb.

Hope that cylinder can be bored out to save the block.

The engine you took out..... did it have the truck solid lifters???
.... have you considered installing a two stage fuel/vacuum pump to help out with the wipers..??

What are you planning with the exhaust....stock or split manifold.

Did it have a metal PCV valve installed on the breather tube???

So many questions... so little time.

Kevin from Lebanon is coming up Nov 4/5...... is there anything you need I can give him to ferry to NH ...??
