Re: [AMC-List] & Choke heat tube

But, I am missing the choke control mechanism.  It
looks like there used to be a heat tube and that it was
cut off and a manual choke installed.  I'd like to put
the automatic one back.
 
  Any opinions on how to replace that tube?

Working from and old memory that is faded a bit with time, It seems to
me that last time had to deal with that the tube going through the
exhaust manifold was steel and what was wrong the tube going to the
carburetor had rotted away with rust and I was able to drill out the
steel tube in the exhaust manifold using a drill that just removed the
residual rust with out damaging the steel tube (which will cause and
exhaust manifold leak) and use  a small piece of copper tube to conduct
the heat to the automatic choke on the carburetor it self.  The copper
tube was inserted into the steel tube that is in the exhaust manifold. 
But I will admit that it has been quite a while since I played with
that. The newer AMC cars have electric chokes which may not be a bad way
to go if you can find the change over parts off of a newer YF Carburetor
for a donor.
