Yes. The problem I am having with the air cleaner temp sensor is it is not closing the metal flap. So the carb is always pulling in air from the preheater duct. I have it unpluged and blocked off right now so it will pull air from the fresh air duct.

I don't know about the sensor but NAPA has a replacement tube listed in their emission catalog. Its 3/4" by 3' long, corrugated aluminum tube. I just bought one a couple of months ago. The finish and color aren't like the original but unless you're going for originality, it will work fine.
One question. Are you sure it's the sensor and not the vacuum actuator?
A quick check is to hook the hose from the actuator to a vacuum source and see if it opens.

Here's what the tube looks like. It's still coiled up like when it's in the box.

Thanks. I wonder if it would throw the guys at Napa for a loop if I gave them these numbers? lol.
