Tom - the tripower specifications have been available in the master books as mentioned by chrisp for years. The books were available by subscription to mechanics attending GM schools.
While I cannot speak for either Dick or Mike, I can state publishing these will certainly not harm my business.
An ongoing issue on these (on any other car parts) are supersessions. Rochester would replace a part with a different part, and the new part would show up in the revised specification page. There was a thread on throttle body gaskets with this issue on these forums a few years ago.
I believe you are aware that I posted carb id numbers and casting numbers for the tripower on my website years ago. You are welcome to that information.
For me, the biggest challenge when I was still doing carbs on the tripowers were the various special fittings. We reproduced several of those with more common usage, and even had tooling produced so I could machine inverted flare fittings for those with insufficient usage for mass reproduction.
If your information can provide usage, and especially pictures, of the special fittings, it would be a boon to anyone playing with these.
Jon.
