Which end goes in first? (choke tube on 327-300)

[Myron F.]

Attached is a picture of a new choke tube from Paragon for my 65 327-300. I assume that the left (flat end) goes in the top first then all the way thru to the bottom and the right side then gets press fit into the top of the manifold. Hope this makes sense. Any tricks? Chill the tube, heat the manifold and hammer it in?

Myron -

The tube installs from the bottom, with the left end in your photo at the top, and the right end in your photo is then "staked" at the bottom to retain it.

Thanks for the input. I would have done it wrong.
