Heat Riser/EFE Valve Spacer

Looking for the exhaust spacer that I believe is found on the TBI/TPI cars, whereas the carbed cars have the actual valve. And if so what would you like for it shipped to 53146?

Here is a pic:

I cut out the butterfly in the heatriser on the 305 in my '84 Trans AM. the damn things seize. Not really required. Had a '70 Chevelle L48 engine. Removed the rise because it was seizing.

I did the same thing. Removed the butterfly, and welded up the holes. It is now a spacer...

The purpose I have for one is to fill in the space, my headers are smog legal designed for the valve. I just want the correct size spacer, was able to find them years ago fairly easily for my other smog legal header cars. I could modify one but rather just find a factory spacer first.
