Rochester carb problems.

My carb # is 7041250. I cant find a correct fuel filter housing. I have a carb #7042250 but the housing wont fit. Picture 1 is fitting that came with carb, picture 2 is the housing i have. I would like to use the oe fuel line. Any ideas on these fittings?

The fitting in the carb is an aftermarket AN fitting for braided stainless hose. The Qjet used two sizes of fuel inlet fittings, 7/8" and 1". You can buy both sizes (plus the AN style that your carb currently has) here:
