Janice ; Rather than wrestle with a greasy old starter and bash your knuckles in the cold you can simply look at the raised (casted in) number on the left front side of the cylinder head ~ if it ends in " 848 " you may rest assured you have a 1956 or newer 235 with the improved top end oiling passeges , no need to go further unless you really care what year it was made...

Brrrr - its too cold to be wrenching, over minus 20 these past few days. Think I'll wait til it warms up a tad, to be taking the starter off. Manual dexterity suffers. Truck is in an unheated garage, but better than being out in the weather. > > Thanks all > > Janice Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
