CARBURETOR Cold Air Intake

My 1985 Ford F-150 came stock with a 2-barrel carburetor, but the factory cold air intake air cleaner and snorkel are long gone. I am replacing the 2-barrel with a 4-barrel, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a factory-style cold air intake?

I noticed that both Summit and Jeg's do not carry cold air intake kits for carbed vehicles. Is there really an advantage to using a cold air intake system versus an open air cleaner for carburetors?

I guess it depends on where you are temperature wise I dont have one on my truck right now and when I drive in cold weather like -20 or so the choke will come back on after travelling for a while. I would think if I hooked the warm air intake back up to the exhaust manifold this problem would stop.
