Currently, as far as I am aware, the most difficult issue with the restoration of the 1957-58 318 dual quad set-up is the choke heat tube INSIDE the intake manifold. This is a steel tube underneath the rectangular bracket that is fastened to the intake on the passenger side. Everyone I have ever seen is burned out.

I searched in vain a few years ago to see if anyone had reproduced this part.

I also contacted one of the well-known tubing bending companies who said they could do it, if I submitted a print. I did so, and they charged me a large fee for "custom" work which wasn't even close to my print, and then refused to issue a refund, and told me the tube could not be made. When I asked how it had been made in the first place, the "customer service" rep hung up on me.

A couple of years ago, I found an older tool and die maker, showed him the problem, and the DiAcro tubing bending machine in my shop. He custom made the tooling to bend the tube for me; but in the meantime, we had to move our shop, so my bending machine is not currently set up to bend the tube.

So, forgive my verbosity, but does anyone know if this part has been reproduced at this time, and if so, who might sell it?

Hello. After reading about the heat riser tubes being burned out I inspected mine. Looks intact and does not wiggle. Took some pictures which I am including. Thanks for info. Going on Ebay tonight.
