I have been searching on line and am having trouble finding a solution. My heat riser assembly is not functional on my 223 IL6. The weight and valve rotate smoothly but the spring is broken off. What have people done to resolve this and are parts available? Can an after market or later model assemble be bolted between the manifold and the exhaust pipe to achieve the same result?
My original spring was broken, and I was able to find a NOS replacement from a vender--maybe out of Ohio. There is a thread documenting my experience. I think at the time some of our experts were of the opinion that a Chevy spring was identical to the Ford part. Someone here found the vender for me. Maybe it was Number Dummy. He used to be very helpful with things like that, but he's not around too much these days. Good luck.
Be Leary of look alike parts. I bought 2 off of FleeBay and neither one worked on my application. I ended up doing away with the heat riser and eventually even went to Ram Horns.

He needs one for a 6 cylinder....
can you just remove the flap or wire it open? How often will you run your truck in cold weather?

I updated my original post to indicate it is an IL6. Should have been more specific.
I figure I will use it until the first time it snows or they put salt on the road….Mid November sometime in Western Massachusetts. Probably weekly. Can still get cold. Definitely through the fall leaf season/Halloween.
It definitely can be removed. Maybe it just needs to run with the choke open longer?
