1959, 60,62,63,64,65,66 Cadillac Intake Choke Tube on 2040-parts.com

DESCRIPTION
I can help you with this one.
I have done several of these.

As you know there is a tube in the intake manifold that goes from the driver side to the passenger side that is heated by the exhaust gases that pass through the center part of the intake manifold.
The choke has a small vacuum bleed that draws fresh air from the left side through the tube and heats up the choke bi-metal coil, this relaxes and opens the choke plate. When the tube breaks the exhaust gets sucked into the choke and will plug this up at best or destroy it at worst. If the break is bad enough the exhaust will leak out the the remaining part of the tube and make noise or worse. Inside the tube is a twisted metal deflector that helps heat transfer.
To replace this is fairly simple with some basic tools, a drill and some bits, and a couple of hours of your time. Liquid refreshment optional and my alter previous time estimate.
The parts you will need is an intake manifold gasket set and a replacement tube.

This is a new STAINLESS steel tube to replace the broken tube in your intake manifold. If you have a 1959-66 Cadillac the tube that runs inside the bottom of the manifold is often cracked or broken and will allow the choke to suck up the exhaust gasses and damage the choke assembly. In some cases it is so bad it will createa a loud exhaust leak.

This is the proper size tube to replace you broken one and it is stainless to last a lifetime.

Instructions included, standard hand tools and drillbits needed. No special machines or welding required.
