Default Where can I find this?

Hello to all,
This forum is superior to any and thanks to all. That said, I have an easy issue. I would like to replace the expandable tube that extends from a port in the air cleaner to the valve cover:


What is this called and where might I find it? Perusing through Eckler's on-line provided no evident part.
Thanks to all again.

Looks like a heat riser tube. Any local parts store should have one.

That's the choke heat stove tube. About $5.00 at NAPA or Autozone. They come in different diameters so measure.

Thanks all! Glad to see it's a local part. I do know that it was a mother to re-install after removing.
