Carb (2100) number decipher?

Can anyone decipher the number stamped in the base for me (no tag)?

To the best of my ability, it appears to be: 8YAB9

Application is 81 F100 302 AOD 2WD

TIA

My best advice is to find out who made it first.The name of the brand should be somewhere on the carb.I'm going out on a limb and guessing you have a Holley,but I'm not sure.Once you find out what the brand is,go to their website and try to match it up.Depending on who makes it,they might have a decoder on there site.

Thanks for the response!

Other than thinking a Holley 2100 being a very strange fitment on a 302, I usually associate 2100/2150 as being an Autolite/Motorcraft carb - sorry about that, I should've been clearer. More specifically, I guess I should have said a MC2150 judging by all outward appearances - raised float cover & choke pull-off.

The reason why I posted this was because a few months back I read a thread where one of the resident gurus was able to decipher the engineering number on the pedestal stamp for another member but I can't remember who it was and can't find the thread.
