I can tell you right now that the new carb is not a Nikki. If it is, then its really old. BTW, Nikki is the brand of carb on stock first gens,

Need better pics. If one of the male ends is larger, that will be the feed line. If they're the same size, then start taking the feed lines off, maybe even the air horn and follow the fuel path.
