Marvel Carb fuel line difference

[rivcokid]

I bought a Marvel carb for my 31 S/W Town sedan and went to put it on today. Lo and behold, the fuel line intake on the carb doesn't match up to the fuel line itself - there is about an inch to an inch and a half difference (that is, the hole on the carb is about an inch away from the end of the fuel line). If it was a little difference I'd play with it but with that much difference, I'm afraid of crimping my fuel line. I don't see any replacement fuel lines specifically for the Marvel carb. So, has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you fix it? Thanks, as always, in advance!
