choke heater tube for a 403

hi guys. I know this is an Oldsmobile forum but I have a 79 Pontiac Trans Am with an Olds 403. I have been searching for the choke heater tube that mounts into the intake manifold and then screws into the back of the Q-jet choke. I have not had any luck finding this part. Does anyone know where I can purchase this part?

Should be available as repop. Fusick.com has these in their Cutlass/442 catalog on page 55. It doesn't describe them as fitting your year, but I wonder if the 350 application would be the same? The reason I ask this question is that the intakes will interchange, but I don't know enough about your vintage to say the choke tubes do. Someone who knows more about small blocks will have to speak up.

Thanks for the reply. This looks like what I need. I will contact Fusick as far as the application.

I beleive the 4bbl Qjet V-8 tubes are all the same. I've interchanged plenty. Of course I will be corrected without predjudice if I've been mistaken.

What I'm not understanding is the "screws into the back of the Qjet" part. Any one I've seen screws into the choke housing, and then a short rubber fits into the back port of the carb
