Daniel, thank you.  I assumed (my bad) that the tube ran straight across to the other exhaust crossover port.  In looking now at the manifold, I see the driver's side port.  Should it have the little umbrella thingy on it?

The tube crosses over at somewhat of an angle. I have marked the location of the other side from what I can see in the photos. Once you remove the intake this will be much easier to see.

I have, what I think, is a '57 intake manifold, casting number ECZ-9425-B. Date code (I think) 73-T.  I understand that a heat crossover tube extends from a choke attachment point on the passenger side exhaust crossover position, under the carb, to the driver side exhaust crossover position (where the air is taken into the tube).   
I cannot find any hole on the driver's side of the manifold.  What am I not understanding?  The tube is replaced by driving it out from one side to the other, for which the manifold has to be removed.   
I will try to post some pictures from another device.  
Thanks, Ralph
