Technical Carter W-1 Carburetor

Hello All

Can I use a Carter W-1 (574S) from a 216 ci, on a 235 ci bored out .080 over (246 ci)???

I also have the Rochester that came with the original 235. Im debating between the two.

Thanks in advance,

It will work a little harder but the vacuum signal will be up….Do the base bolt holes have the same spaceing….

 

I haven't gotten that far to check the mounting bolts, i just happen to removed it from the other motor and the option popped up, i figured i ask.
Ill be better off keeping the Rochester where is at, correct?

 

I run two of the W-1 Carters on a 250 inline six.

 

You'll have to slot the mounting holes on the W1 in order to bolt it to a 235 intake. The center to center dimension on the 235 carburetor is 2 15/16, while the W1 is 2 11/16.

 

do you guys think that just one W-1 will not be enough to run the 235 comfortably?

 

If it's otherwise stock, probably. You may have to change the main jet.

 

If you have the Rochester might as well run it as everything including bolt spacing is set up for it and not the W-1. I am currently trying to get 2 W-1's to work on my 235.

 

thank you all
