The stock filter connection to the carb would be to have one fitting similar to if not that actual straight fitting you show in IMG 3859. If that fitting is 1/8" NPT on both sides that is probably the fitting needed. One side would thread directly into the carb and the other into the filter outlet.

I can't remember if the tubing goes straight in the filter from the front on single carbs or not. If so the filter input side would need a straight 5 /16" inverted flare to 1/8" NPT adapter similar to what is currently on the filter on the output side connecting to all the other fittings. That adapter would thread in the filter inlet port and the tubing would attach to that. If not straight in then instead of a straight fitting there would need to be a 5/16" inverted flare to 1/8" NPT 90 degree elbow.

Of course, if the carb inlet port was damaged at some point and someone drilled out to make a repair using a larger fitting then there is a possibility it would need some extra fittings to transition sizes.
