I'll see if I can find a tag on it. It is a Rochester "B" with manual choke. No tag, but I think it's possibly (7003986) from a 50-51 car with powerglide as the later ones have the automatic choke.

The 235 engine has larger round runners for the intake manifold and slightly larger exhaust manifold and pipes. Also the throttle plate in a 235 is 1 9/16" and the 216 is 1 1/2". The intake ports in the 216 head are smaller .
The 235 can use all of these increased size ports, etc. as the engine breaths better due to larger intake valves and the larger dis[lacement can use the extra breathing to a greater advantage.
