Well, i did some searching, and on Timmy's yblock page i identified the carb as a autolite 4100, it has 1.08 venturies which makes it a 480 cfm unit...This was timmy's shpeel...:
Autolite 4100
A Ford design that looks similar to a Holley, this carb is a very underrated choice. Coming in sizes useful for a Y, the 4100 uses Holley jets and power valves. The annular discharge booster venturis are very efficient. A great choice for an all-Ford ride, the 4100 is simple and reliable. 3 sizes were made: a 480 cfm unit uses 1.08”venturis, a 600 cfm unit uses 1.12” venturies, and a rare, 1958-only version came with 1.19” venturis for 650 to 670 cfm. Check the carb base for venturi size numbers.

On the side of the left front foot, at the mounting flange just in front of the throttle linkage, you may find a series of numbers and letters, similar to a Ford part number prefix. That will give you an original application code. Take a look and let us know what you find.
