Well, I figured it out. Thanks to Mike Mackin for his suggestion.
I dug through my old parts and removed parts, and found my old fuel pump,
which had the same kind of brass fittings pressed in. I was able to remove
one of those and press it in the carb for a good fit. The rebuilt ZS is on
the car and with one short test drive, it was purring very smooth and was a
great improvement.
