Marvel variants, most of them anyway, are made with a "plug" which allows one to align to the Model A fuel line (side) or the Model B fuel line (front)
That said, a small number of Marvels have only the Model A side plug - and the front position is "blank" - but could be drilled/tapped for the Model B.
I believe this side plug is 1/8" pipe thread - which indeed does require a brass compression fitting to bridge the gap.
This "single connection" Marvel has been said on this board to be superior to the double connection in having a "power tube" akin to the Tillotson F1A/B.
I own both Marvel types and see little difference. And little resemblance to the F1A/B.
