The Carter choke stove was a different design from the aftermarket stoves, but not really that much. They all worked the same, but the Carter stove looked better and showed more thought. A picture of a brand new one is attached. The second image shows the hole for the choke tube. Many people when they would install these (be they any choke stove) would take a moment and flare the tube so it wouldn't come out, and the tube could have been copper (most common) or aluminum. They weren't really concerned about filtered air, but in a moment I'll tell you how that can be accomplished. This tube was covered with an asbestos cloth (image also attached). As I've said on this forum a few times, you could make your own completely filtered stove by simply wrapping the copper tubing around a part of your manifold, connecting one end to the carburetor and running the other end up and into your air filter just as the PCV tube is placed. In case you're curious about Carter's instructions for the choke stove, they're attached. This instruction sheet removed from a brand new 3211s.
