I was surprised to discover the 216 and 235 engines have different throat
sizes so a Roch from a 216 wont fit a 235. Good news is, the 216 version is
rare and desireable to the parts houses. Bad news is, I had counted on using
the Roch I had for a 235. Another excuse to go salvaging!
I also found out thru reading Jim Carters article on the 261 that the Roch
for it is different than a 235 but next to impossible to find. There is a
bit more to this restoration stuff than just cleaning parts!
