Need help decoding Autolite carb

Well I got a free 2bbl carb off of an old Ford (presumed to be 67-72)

The tag says: Autolite
C7TF E
A 6HC

Any ideas?

67-72 is probably a Holley 2100

C7 is 1967. t= truck, F= engine accy. The "E" is probably revision number?
The rest I suppose are application numbers?

C7TF = 1967 Truck (I don't have specific listing for this so I can't tell you exactly which engine size it was designed for, but I would guess 352 v8)

A: references the design change (in this case, the first iteration of this carb)

6HC: is the date code 1966 - August - 3rd week

If you can tell us what the raised number is just above the accelerator pump rod, on the side of the housing (ex. 1.12, 1.08, 1.23, ...), I can tell you the CFM rating.
