Heated air intake tube-reproduced?
Does anyone reproduce these? Cant find them anywhere online. Mine has obviously seen better days, and I like to keep it looking original under my hood. Im ASSUMING this is the original.
I have one of those shiny ones from the help section of the parts store and it stands out like a sore thumb. If none are reproduced, maybe Ill play around trying to find a heavy paint/coating to make a new one look more original. Anyone? Thanks

It's shown in a Ram Air diagram, page 192 and I just found it under Exhaust Pre-Heater Components, page 223.

I saw that diagram, with the part number listed in the diagram, but couldn’t find that part listed on any of those pages dealing with air cleaners and air cleaner parts. . I never thought to look in the exhaust section.
Regardless, I found the N180YJ that I needed.

OK I got my latest box of Ames goodies yesterday. So I ordered the clamp to go with the new tube.
Does this go on the air cleaner end or the shield at the exhaust manifold? Or was there one one each end from the factory?

Aha! Answered my own question for once. I forgot I even had this manual! Sorry.

I used the reproduction duct from Ames. I had to stretch the end for the shroud with an exhaust pipe expander to make it easy to remove when pulling the air cleaner. Installed the clamp on the duct while it was in the expander. Now it easily slips on and off when removing the air cleaner assembly
