[Tigers] Interesting carburetor Observation

As I cruised around a few web sites to scare up a rebuild kit for my stock
two barrel, I came across some interesting pictures.   The stock 2 barrel
carb is from the "2100" family.  The slightly later but related 2150 family
has a significant difference.

I'm suspecting that for one reason or another, fuel came out of the vent on
the top of the fuel bowl, boiling, leaky valve, or whatever, and this is
what fueled my recent fire.  The 2150, instead of just having an open vent
hole, has a little fitting that was apparently designed to accept a hose,
perhaps to drain any overflow to a safe location.

So I'm looking for an extremely low profile right angle fitting...  I'm
thinking aquarium hose size...  That will fit under the stock air cleaner...

Any other ideas out there?
