If the intake is new, and you followed their instructions for installation and torque of fasteners. it's probably fine. did you use new gaskets when carb was installed?

Someone use to make a adapter that would fasten to a header or exhaust pipe. If the manifold piece is broken, you can usually drill out the old parts and sleeve in a new tube. Don't forget that this "style" is a "controlled leak" as it pulls filtered air down one tube then through the manifold where it heats the air and then up to the thermostatic spring which coils and uncoils with temperature. If it was mine, I'd go to the parts store and buy the electric conversion and wire it up. My point oh two!
