Don-
I have a Weber downdraft on my 77B. It is a manual choke model, and has
no fitting such as you mention. Is your carb a hot water choke type.
They were available (don't know if they still are. The car came with a
Zenith-Stromberg with a hot water choke. It took it's water off the
heater bypass hose. I ran a straight length of hose from the lower
radiator hose to the heater when I installed by carb.
Hope this helps.
