Did 70 Challenger 383 come with a "heat stove"?

[mikeinsjc]

When I got my 70 Challenger, it did not have a heat stove on it. Does anyone know what provisions for carb heating the 383 came with? There was, however, a funky looking cast fitting thingy held to the driver's exhaust manifold by a screw-type hose clamp. Was this factory original? It seems kind of mickey-mouse for a production setup, although I don't know how else you would attach it. I have seen repro heat stove sheet metal. Anyone know offhand who carries it? I'd appreciate being enlightened on this- I am trying to return to the original stock details.

You are talking about a heat riser. My big-block has headers, so I can't help you with a picture. sorry.

I think Tony's parts  repops the heat stove, it's a two piece deal that bolts to the hi-po manifold with 2 short studs and 2 nuts. I'll post a couple pics of my '70 383 with and without it, hope they help!

73plymouth, thanks for the picts. Just need to find the hoe from the stove to the air cleaner.

Boy the wrinkle on that air cleaner looks fantastic!!
The emission decal should be over by the breather nipple though.

I know, but I am kind of wary of taking that one off.
