Hi Kevin,
Great addition that blast cabinet. It is nice to see parts go from rusty and crusty to bare metal, then to shiny paint. It will help you a lot with getting things looking nice.

I had the same problem with my "hot air choke tube" I just ran a new metal tube to the top of the hole on the manifold, reduced the diameter of the end of the tube and jammed it in the broken off tube, and put some exhaust sealer putty around it. It is a pragmatic fix, but works. -I think there are pics in my blog from a few years ago. Drilling out that old tube and then pressing a new one into the manifold is going to be a lot of work, and I would not do it.
