I'm in Camarillo, Ventura County about halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.
The tub I need is the one that injects air into to exhaust manifold. It bolts up to the top of the manifold. Hssbtwo ports. No aftermarket makers are making these.
LCE makes a nice CARB certified model but then you have to purchase the adapter kit and use the same log on top. I'm going to check and see if I can get a buddy that welds tubing to make me a new one. If he can then I'll have it made about 6 inches longer so that you can get to it. Really not much too it. Maybe 36 inches of stainless pipe , 2 flat pieces for bolt up tabs and attach the backfire valve to it.
Mine was leaking so bad that the exhaust gases were going into the top of the carb from the heat riser. This blew out a vacum diafram on n the side of the carb facing the head. This let raw fuel into the vacum hose creating an ostrich mixture. I'm surprised it did not catch fire. It had sat in a field for 2 years when the owner gave it to me.
