i have seen some on e-bay from time to time.the 292 uses the same one.not sure about other engines but as long as the size of the hole and bolt pattern match you can use it.

What is a heat riser?

the little flapper valve in the exhaust manifold.the bi-metal is the curled spring.the butterfly stays closed until the engine warms up,heating the spring which opens it.

Oh ok, that's what I thought it was just didn't know what it was called.
I got the one that came off my 352, told my nieghbor it was a 1 barrel carb.
