the battery cable was routed differently on ones equipped with RA manifolds vs standard log manifolds;
the head bolt needs to have a stud, and if the engine was rebuilt, it's possible that the wrong fastener was installed there - that might be why you cannot find a way to attach/route things.
I would not use one of those tubes with the RA manifolds - because it would press right against the manifold (but have a small gap for standard manifolds);
if the tube is resting aginst a manifold it will be a small heat sink for that battery cable.
