If its an AFB they are available. I found it difficult to source for a Carter WCFB.

If it's not the modifier one(has linkage on the outside - hard to get - but I think went away by '59), then you can replace with any, change to electric or manual noting may not be year correct, if you're being judged.   The repros don't have period lettering typically.   The carb parts people should be able to source.   I got several a few years back.   Only thing is make sure you put the spring in the right way, so it opens the choke warming, not closes.

I believe the unit for a 1959 Carter AFB is 170 AC4788S.
