All (at least those that I've dealt with) should have the original plate
referencing the type of carb on the auto. According to my Haynes manual on ZS's,
3426L (not 34261) was the left carb fitted on 71/72 GT6 (USA) models. It should
be a 150CDSE as your post indicated.
There should be no harm in replacing the metering needle (except if the $20
(approx)
tag for each is harmful). Take care removing from air valve. Don't use excessive
force.
