NAPA is probably the only one that might have it in stock. If you can wait, why not just order one from Van Pelts or Rock Auto? I ordered one for my '59 off topic car from Rock Auto. Ordered Sunday due on Friday.

Does the Daytona kit come with a leather accelerator pump? Thinking 94 but also 97.

We buy from Napa also, but I caution all to bring the acc. pump with you because
one pump is small and the other is big. Just did a EAB marked on the fuel bowl.
Opened the box and I got the small diameter pump. Had to put the old one back in.
Then I saw utube vid of a rebuilder showing 4 or 5 kits being all different ...just sayin

Check with some of the carb builders here on the barn.
CharlieNY does a lot of the 94 style carbs.
