Ford 59 Carb

[Gordon Ellis]

The carb on my 39 Ford flatty is a Ford 59..possibly a 59A.


Any comments on the reliability and dependability of this carb? Apparently it was used on 47 to 48 cars and 46 to 47 trucks.


Was it made by Holley? If I look up a carb kit for this carb, it seems as if a Holley also uses the same kit?


Any comments on this carb would be appreciated, positive or negative..
