The prefix starts with a letter, then a number, then two additional letters.
Like this, for example: C9AF. Then there might be a basic number of 9510, followed by a one or two letter suffix. Examples: C9AF-9510-E or C9AF-EA.
8L could be: November (L) 1968 (8) or 1978 (8).
1963/74 Auto-Lite/Motorcraft 2100 series 2V carbs use the same carburetor kit. There is one variation. 1970/74's have a choke pull-off diaphragm mounted to the top of the airhorn.
All you see is an L shaped rod protruding from it. This diaphram comes in the kit, whether the carb has one, or not.
But...from this mixed up prefix you posted: 9DA2, this could actually be D9AE, there is no 9510, but there are 18 possible suffixes, some have three letters.
1975/79: There are 15 different 2V carb kits.
Has the engine been swapped to a 302 or 351W? 1979 LTD/Mercury Grand Marquis came with these two engines, the ID prefix used for both these cars is D9AE.

Motorcraft 2100 and 2150 carbs with 1.08" venturis were used on the AMC 304 and Ford 302 engines. I think 360 engines used 1.21" venturis, but I could be mistaken.
Since that carburetor is probably jetted for a smaller engine than your 360, it will tend to run a bit richer when transplanted to a larger engine. Lots of 1.08" venturi carburetors came with #47 jets, but I think #46 jets are still available from places like Carbs Unlimited.

The jet size totally depends on the elevation you are running it in. I have a 2100 and live at about 500 feet in elevation and I am jetted for sea level to 5000 feet in elevation. The correct jets for my 352 at this elevation is 52F. The 52F is a Ford jet and I have found the number is strictly a reference number and nothing to do with the size of the hole in the jet like you find on Holley jets. A Holly jet will not fit in the 2100 carbs. I might also say that if you look it up in the Ford parts mamual that not only elevation is a factor but also the type emission system you have and automatic transmission or manual transmission.

My advice is to just try the carburetor as it is now. It's an emissions era carburetor and is probably jetted on the lean side anyway.

Smaller venturies mean less air, less air in a bigger motor means more fuel which = richer. Higher elevation = less air which = richer. A bigger motor WILL require more air but not necessarily more fuel if you want it to run right. The smaller carb will probly work but you'll get horrible millage even thou its a 2bbl. I would think about a small 4bbl carb in the 550-600cfm range that will perform better and use less fuel.

As installed, if you look on the driver side front mounting ear on the surface facing the driver side you will see some codes stamped into the carbs base...this info is used to determine the carb ID...tags can be swapped around..but ya cant swap around something thats stamped in...let us know what ya have there...
