Will a Carter "W1" or "YF" work on my '54 powerglide engine?

The bolt holes may not be the same on the manifold.

The W-1 will not work because the stud holes are too close together. For the YF it all depends as that is a Universal carburtor and ,MAY have slotted mounting holes. For a 235 the holes are 2 15/16" apart center to center. The 216 is 2 11/16"
The carb. throat is also smaller for a 216.
I have a 1956 Rochester on my 1950 235 and it performs perfectly. The "bad" ones were from 1950-1952.

I had a pretty good Rochester but I stripped the screws in the shaft in the throttle body. A friend has a couple carters that I can have. I am going to rebuild the WF. If that doesn't work I will look fo another Rochester.
