Parking light bulbs available at NAPA or any good auto parts store, very common bulb. The bulb number in your owner's manual is still the current bulb number. Headlight bulbs are available but very limited supply and expensive, figure $250 at least per bulb.

Carb linkage is available as reproduction, perhaps Classic & Exotic, or Packard Twin Six. There is no link from the carburetor to the heat riser, are you perhaps thinking of the Stromberg Model C automatic choke?

Tires are 7.00x17, readily available in at least 3 brands from the likes of Lucas Tire, Coker, etc. '34 was the last year for metal stem tubes, they too are available, as are gutter strips. I've had excellent life and service from my Lesters but this time I'm trying Bedford Coach as they IMO have a more " of the era" appearance, and are very highly regarded. Super Eight also used the 7.00x17, the 7.50x17 was for the Twelve. All were originally 6-ply, you want 6-ply rated but will be 4-ply construction.
