I will send in some help, a person that knows part numbers very well, he should be able to explain it.

Welcome to FTE

ID number: D8SE-FA = Ford part number: D8PZ9510BN .. 2V Motorcraft Carburetor (Motorcraft CA2609).

Original applications: 1978 LTD II/Ranchero/Thunderbird/Cougar 351M / Installed in CA vehicles only.

F = Assembly Plant Code / 8A25 = Assembled January (A) 25, 1978 (8).

D9PZ9A586J .. 2V Motorcraft Carburetor Kit (Motorcraft CT1260).

I cannot give you the CFM, as the 1973/79 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog doesn't list this information.

You have a 351M (M-Modified) engine. There is no such thing as a 351W (W-Windsor) Modified.

351M's were assembled at the Cleveland OH engine plant, 351W's were assembled at the Windsor, Ontario Canada engine plant.
