Heat it up

Hey Guys
Anybody have an idea for attaching a heat tube from headers to choke?
I'd like something a little more elegant than a hose clamp.
Including pics.
Thanks in advance

Do you need a choke tube with an electric choke ?

Good question.
The carb used to be a manual choke.
Had the electric kit added with the rebuild. The riser spigot came with the kit.
Carb Guru's chime in.

I'm guessing they provide both with the kit so that you can use it either way.
The question is which way is best.
After researching, it's split.

On the Holley 4150 I just rebuilt that opening gets attached with rubber tubing to manifold vacuum to keep the bimetal spring in the electric choke from overheating. Don't know if it was one of the problems I was having but that vacuum opening was plugged before I rebuilt the carb and I realized the mistake going through an online tutorial.
