need a heat riser!!!!!

i just got an 84 z28 and the heat riser was swapped out for a diff one (no idea why) and so there is a big gap causing an awful exhaust leak.

i cant find the right one in the junk yard or classifieds here. i do plan on getting headers down the road. does anyone know of a way to fix this since i cant find the correct part? or does anyone who has put headers on have their old heat riser and want to sell it cheap?

An EFE valve is what you need. I bought new, though a few years ago, from GM. TPI uses a simple spacer that you could use to solve your problem for a while.
