Yep. Those are called "spark valves" and they come in just about all 94 rebuild kits these days even though they are not used on most of the earlier carbs. The result the prevailing "one size fits all" philosophy. I have a couple of actual 94 power valve plugs I got from Charlie Schwendler up at my shop. I can post a picture if you want to see what they look like.

Looks like you were working with the wrong "Charlie".

Sure. I would like to see what they should really look like. I got a few fuel fittings years back from Charlie in NY. Haven’t had issues with Charlie from
Vintage Speed until now. Will call him this week about some of these problems.
