If you get a universal Choke Tube Kit (from NAPA, etc.) there are two plugs (you only need one) that have a 1/4 inch inside diameter (for the aluminum tube from the carb choke) on one end and about a 1/8 or 3/16th outside diameter tube on the other end that fits into the heat riser/stove pipe hole in the exhaust manifold. You jam the choke tube into the 1/4 inch end and then jam the 1/8 inche smaller end into the heat riser. I can post a pic if you need one but they have these kits at NAPA for 10-12 bucks.

Good Luck-
