Re: horsepower guess...
It all depends on the heads and the cam.
If you have low compression heads from about 1972 to the late '80's (and there are millions of these out there) you have about 180-220 hp, depending on the cam. IMO if you are running a carb, you likely have a set of these.
Although the hp numbers look modest this set up has bags of low end torque and makes for a really nice, responsive set up that will run smoothly on regular gas.
If you have a mid-80's to early '90's Mustang or Lincoln MkVII heads (designated High Output, you have approx 20 more hp. I suspect there are not many carb intake manifolds that fit these, I seem to remember the intake bolt pattern was different because most were EFI.
