Re: model 59 carb.
Model 59s were used from 46-48 (debuted in 45) on both cars and trucks. Your 8BA/8RT manifold was used on 48-53 trucks and 49-53 cars. Contact Charlie NY here on the 'barn for parts.

Dick, the model 59 has no vac port to serve the distributor. Not needed if you go with Bubba's Chev conversion, but the Ford requires it.

Re: model 59 carb.
Dick, that setup is correct if you have the front mount distributor original to your '48. The 49-53 engine with the front passenger side distributor-on-a-stick calls for the carb with integral vacuum port. They are both 94 carbs, but the 59 hasn't that port. I've heard that you'd get better response from the correct carb for that distributor.
