From what little I know about Rochester carburetors, I suppose you are referring to a Rochester model "BC" carburetor that uses a metal tube that transmits heat from a sheet metal "stove" that would be clamped to one of the exhaust manifolds?

There are kits from several suppliers listed on this site that run tubing off those threaded holes to the manifold box. They transfer the exhaust manifold heat to the chamber. It works very well for me, but I'm in Miami. Might not work so well in, say, North Dakota. | | |
