Holley 1945 carb direct replacement for a slant six? Ideas?

How is that possible? The mounting flange bolt spacing is different 2.9" on the slant and 2.7" on the Autolite carb. If you call Holley they will tell you it is not going to work. The guy in the Part 1 video even states it at 6:00 minutes in
I don't know. Like I said, "one of us" used a different style Autolite carburetor. I'm tellin you from first hand experience I've run one before on a slant 6. Obviously, the one I ran was different than the ones he's talking about, because it fit. The bad part is, I don't remember WHAT it came off of. I THOUGHT it was a 300 inline six, but I'm not 100% sure. This was when I was in high school auto shop. I was 16.....17 that was a while ago.
