JW. I think you are looking at the Stromberg carb. mine is the carter. no mechanical linkage for the carter from the manifold.
the carter hooks up just like the 55/56 with a thermostatic tube running from the manifold to heat the choke on the side of the carb.
HH. The unit that screws into the manifold is solid. it reminds me of a mechanical water temp gauge tip. the tube is stuck on the top of this thing that goes in the manifold. it does not appear that there are any holes that open the tube to the exhaust gases, just the heat itself. it pretty much reminds me of the 55/56 setup, except it unscrews.
to me it looks like someone added it and probably drilled the hole in the manifold to fit it. and then plugged the choke stove that is for the Stromberg carb with a deep freeze plug.
