Default Model B intake diameter

Can one of the “Model B” guys verify the intake diameter for the carburetor is it 1-1/8 Model A and 1-1/4” 32-Model B?

Thanks

And, note that the B mounting flange has a bit of an offset twist to it. It makes it so the choke rod and main jet adjustment is not dead straight. It works...but not smooth operating like the original A
