Choke Clean Air Tube on Motocraft 2100 carb

I rebuilt my carb a couple of days ago and on removing it the choke clean air metal tube snapped off the manifold.

It's in too difficult a position on the manifold to drill out the small broken nub in it so the hole is free so I can slip the tube back into the manifold.

I wanted to ask is there an air flow inside the thin tube as I heard the manifold is just a blind cavity.

If there is no air flow and it is just conducting heat can I slip in a metal rod to bridge the two broken halves of the pipe and slip them together and still have it function correctly?

There is air flow inside the manifold. Just before the hole that the tube slides in is a metal mesh filter that can often get clogged with debris.

Thank you for the reply, do you happen to know where I can see a picture of this area? aka mesh , pipe , manifold , etc?

The motor is a 302 and my manual has no pics of the area and I could not find it on the web

Check your parts store, there is a choke tube repair kit for this.
