    Was going to say RockAuto, but unless I'm not searching right, they don't have them. Your best bet might be to post an ad in the FS section. I imagine someone on here has a used one they could part with.

      Why do you need one? I mean - you don't use a heat sheild when you install a header, so what's the need on a stock manifold?

          Don't know how much it matter on an fi car, but know it is necessary for a carbed car.

                it's main use is to prevent carburetor icing. i've had this happen a couple of times on jeeps i've owned. they useally will only ice up when the vehicle is first started after sitting overnite,on mine it would start, start running rough and cut off but would fire right back up. soon as the motor warmed for a min. or two it ran well. to do this the air would be humid and the outside temp around 50 degrees or so or lower. i saw it happen one time, when started with air cleaner off, ice and frost immediately began to form in the throat and outside of the carb. it cut off and the ice disappeared and it started back up.

                  There's one on ebay now for an fi car. It's used, not new, but not sure you can even get one new.
