Default 7042203 measurements needed

Before making any modification to the carburetor I got(1972 350CI truck carb (704 2210 ), I would like to compare the measurements
for that truck carb with the ones for a same year vette carb (7042203 ) because I need a base line to mimic the vette measurements
I only found jet and needle size on the net. I hope both carbs have the same casting! If it was easy to find a quadrajet here in France, I wouldn't have made that choice...
So I need measurements for:
Main air bleed, air horn and float bowl
idle tube
idle down chanel restriction
upper idle air bleeds
lower idle air bleeds
iddle bypass airholes
iddle needle holes
Thanks
