It should purr quietly like a kitten, except when in Park when that Powerglide Whine gives itself away.

Looking for where to find a heat riser bi metallic coil for exhaust manifold?
Is a carb auto choke coil applicable?

I suspect that stops the flap

Oh. Ya those things suck. I was thinking you were talking about the coil for the choke. But these exhaust manifold heat risers suck. I have no good fix other than to gut them out and weld the 2 thru holes. But that's all assuming you won't be winter driving it. Summer conditions you'd be better off without the flap for sure.

You need that bi-metal coil inside the heat stove to make the choke pull-off function as designed. It is connected to the little arm that allows the choke to come off high-idle & the choke automatically (after a tap on the throttle).

The pictured coil activates the heat riser valve in exhaust manifold, nothing to do with carb or choke.
There is a flapper blade below the carb mount that when closed flows warm exhaust gas to carb base thus warming it.
As the coil warms it allows the blade to open allowing all exhaust to exit via exhaust. The smaller coil is anti rattle stopping
the blade from fluttering inside exhaust manifold. It is a complicated way of warming engine when cold in canada, that was
doomed to failure over time. The alternative is to weld the blade open or remove entirely which makes for tough cold starting.

I watched a video the other day explaining how important it is to have the heat riser working on a stock engine from that era for decent driveability. The factory carbs were engineered with this feature in mind. Looking back now I know why the cars I had as a teenager never really ran 100% as those heat risers were all siezed. This feature isn't really needed (or wanted) on performance upgraded engines.

Yup mine was seized when checked pretty much fully closed, the passages to carb base also plugged.
Did get it cleaned out and functional.

How many people diligently applied GM Heat Riser Lubricant at every oil change? Very few evidently.
