Vintage edelbrock 2101 height

Does anyone happen to know the height specs of the original vintage edelbrock 2101?
Is it taller than the modern 2101?

It appears these are all the modern 2101.
The old one is from the late 70s early 80s.
in my pic the vintage one has a much larger rear runner with a sharper 90 degree bend....

I'm not sure on the stock height.

Edelbrock told me the carb height of the vintage 1st design is 4.00" vs the modern 2nd design of 4.05".
But they have not told me the front and rear height specs (A and B) yet.
Hopefully they get back to me.

Re: Vintage edelbrock 2101 height

Would it be worth buying an old catalog off say eBay or finding a listing for an old one and ask a seller to measure it for you?
when you said old I thought 90s not 70-80s 😆
