do the numbers on carburetor jets remain a standard throughout all carb manufactures; ie, #100 jet in a amal = #100 jet in a delorto?

No. The jet numbers are not always consistent. I always thought that the numbers made reference to flow capabilities, but apparently I was wrong.
The biggest problem I've run into is when using Dyno Jet jet kits. The numbers they use on their jets are very much unique and not even close to what Keihin and Mikuni use.

If you have the can CFM carb and the venturies are the same and jet size (Which can always be changed if needed) are the same then you should be fine. The biggest issue is will it bolt to the intake and will your fuel line mate up to it. not to mention if you will need to run the throttle cable differently, the kick down, the choke settings and auto choke. there are a lot of things to worry about when making an adaption of this kind. But yes it is completely do able.

My experience is that different carb makers number their jets differently.
As far a adapting, you can make almost anything fit, IF you want to devote enough time or money!
