[DeTomaso] Manifold crossover function question?

[P. Rimov]

Ok, I realize I am becoming quite fixated on this, but to what end does the 
manifold cross over achieve other than being used for heating air around the 
choke tubes so the old fashion chokes would lean out the fuel mixture once 
the engine was at optimal temperature?

I hope this doesn't keep me up all night contemplating.

Cheers

Paul
