I can't tell if the body is identical by looking at it. It would make sense that it would fit the same as a W72 carb because it's basically the same engine. But the carb is from a 78. Do a search on Rochester carbs on the internet. I found a site which gave the code for the carb numbers....like what year, engine, division. The 8 in your number means 1978 model year. I didn't bookmark the site though.
I'm not sure if the secondaries are bigger on a W72 carb or not. I guess you could measure them to find out. You should be able to buy the same type jets. The paper also talks about the secondary hangers being shorter to give quicker response. It's hard to beat the real thing.
When those carburetors come up on ebay they get well over $200 for one that needs to be rebuilt.
