Henry, like I first posted "...could be wrong, but..." Looking at the 1935-1941 Parts List there is an illustration of the carburetor and its automatic choke mechanism.

It looks to me as originally built there is no hot air tube from the choke stove to the carb. There is a thermostatic spring and mechanism that fits into the manifold opening which operates the choke with levers and links.

So, Howard's recommendation is a good work around for this problem. Or, you could simply clamp a piece of tubing from the carb's choke housing on to the exhaust manifold. Simple and direct. This has been done before by others with good success. Of course you still would need to install a plug in the choke stove opening.
