63 300hp AFB choke tube question.
Is the choke tube from the AFB choke cover to the manifold basically straight or does it have a curvature?
The "original" on my 300 hp is virtually straight except for the ends, and one is rotted off - kinda like the 340 repop, but not chrome. All the repop tubes have a definite bend to them. I could straighten, but then I may as well make my own. Which is correct. Pictures I can find are NOM, or driver side of engine.

Mine sounds like yours!. Am I missing something? ZIP has the curved one. Had it in my hand today. Carried my old rusted one with me. LIC shows the curved one - 327, 300hp, AFB, 4 speed. Cad plated part.
Well, Corvette Central shows the right part!

I think the 250 WCFB gets a curved one, the AFBs get the straight (340 is chromed). It's getting clearer. Thanks for your reinforcement. ZIP didn't list the 300 hp one I guess. Chrome one looked right, just chromed.
