Re: [oletrucks] 216 or 235...still confused

 But according to Doug Pewterbaugh, "On all 216's the sheet 
 metal pushrod cover goes up over the spark plugs
 (extends above the top of the block onto the side of the 
 head); only VERY early 235's do the same." >>

The splash 235 shrunk its push rod cover in 1950.  check the stamped numbers 
on pad to rear of distributor.  these are sometimes ground off by rebuilders.
