Looking where to purchase a model 59a-9510-a carburetor rebuild kit . I can find replacement carburetors but no rebuild kits. That model was used on 47tru 48 passengers cars and 46thru47 trucks. I would think if I can buy a replacement carburetor model 59 , why not a rebuild kit . Any suggestions as to where I may look.

The Holley 94 carburetors went through some evolution over the years of production but overall, they are still the same carb. The 2100 was a common replacement and the 2110 was a bit larger in the cfm rating but it is still the same basic carb. The OEM part number for a kit may only get you an old dusty box that has been on the shelf for 50 years. Soft parts don't last well with age.
The most common problem now days is getting a power valve that will actually fit the body well. The way the new ones are made, they have a tendency to not seal well on the original castings. One of the barn members Charlie NY has a way to fix that. There may be others as well. Accelerator pump plungers can be less than adequate for the job too. All things to watch out for on the 94 carbs.

I am also in the same position looking for a rebuilt kit for a 47 pickup carb # 59. I am curious did the 601 kit work. I description on Dayton website does not say the 601 kit is for a model 59 carb.

Just make sure to thoroughly clean the carburetor once apart. I put all body pieces in a closed container with enough acetone to make sure pieces are submerged. 24-48 hours in this bath. Then after removing, I chase all passages with soft wire. This is followed by a blast through all passages with canned carb cleaner, watching to see it coming out where it should. Keep your face clear. It does wonders for your eyes.
As stated, most kits are universal. Later series had larger bores. Some cheaper kits had an accerator pump that was too short, and incorrect sealing surfaces on power valves. I don’t think Daytona has these incorrect parts.
