"68 4-4-2 Resto- Need Choke Manifold Shield, Pipe, Adapter

Trying to help my friend finish his '68 4-4-2 restoration.
He still needs the three sheet metal pieces for the choke set up which include
the adapter at the air cleaner nozzle, the tube and the shield on the manifold at
the lower end of the tube.

He ordered what was supposed to be the correct set from Fusick.
When he received it, it wasn't what he needed.
The down pipe connected to a piece which looks like a vacuum cleaner nozzle which, in turn,
connected to the manifold shield.

The manifold shield he needs is more of a "box" shape with a round nozzle.
The down pipe connects directly this nozzle.

Thanks in advance for any leads on these parts.

Just needs a few more pieces to complete this project.

The vacuum looking nozzle is the correct one for '68!! '69 used the box shape with round connector...

It's a non-A/C, non-W30, automatic, convertible car, power steering & brakes, RallyPac.

I guess the assembly manual illustration must be wrong.
Even if the set they sell is correct, the pipe and adapter are half of the set up.
He'll still need the pipe and adapter.
Price on the Fusick set is pretty strong and he'll still have to pay for the adapter and pipe.
Ideally, he'd rather find a good used original set that's complete if possible.

Here's the page from the assembly manual.

Left hand diagram is the 400. Looks like a vacuum cleaner shape, not a square box to me.
