Model 94 carb issue

My '47 has a Model 94 carb in it. As I am chasing a fuel system issue I was going to swap this carb with another Model 94.
The old carb is stamped Ford and the new carb is stamped Holley. Otherwise they are almost identical.
When I took off the brass adaptor off the carb where the fuel line connects and tried to install it on the Holley carb it would not fit. I thought the threads were damaged but when I took some measurements I found the Ford carb had a 9/16"x18 inlet and the Holley carb had a 1/2" inlet.
I am hoping there is a brass adapter that will fit this so I can continue the swap.
Are there any other surprises I might find. I am new to V8s.
Thanks.
 
Seems like I just solved my issue. The Ford carb needs an adapter fitting between the fuel line and carb, and the does not on the Holley carb as the Ford nut on the end of the fuel line threads in directly.
 
Both carbs should have been a straight thread 1/2-20.
The Ford carb must have been damaged and resized to 9/16-18.
