Unless someone has a Zenith apart might have to trace wires by the schematic:

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/455/M0025455.htm

Two large pins on the eye tube, 1 and 6, are filament, 6 volts and ground.

Pin #2 will only have a resistor going to pin #4.

Pin #3 is AVC line.

Pin #4 is B+.

Pin #5 is cathode and has a low voltage, near zero.

When you get it all wired up put the old eye tube in to test, just in case.
I assume you had to replace it.
