Default carb I.D. help

I bought my 80 about 8 months ago with a new ZZ4 crate engine installed and a new Holley carb. The guy had no paperwork for the carb, and told me it was an 800 cfm. Can someone please tell me how to identify which carb I have? Where on the carb is the model number stamped? The fuel mixture seems way too rich and the car bogs/ hesitates for a second upon hard acceleration. I was thinking maybe the carb is too big for the engine?

Thanks

Thanks Mike,

now for a really stupid question- where is the airhorn? No, I'm not completely ignorant when it comes to working on cars, its just that every car I have worked on in the past has been fuel injected.

please help me identify which carb I have so I can troubleshoot the hesitation. Do I have to pull the cleaner to see the air horn? Is it towards the front/back, left/right? anyone?

the "LIST" number will be stamped into the front of the choke housing. just take off the top of the air cleaner and the # will be right there in the front.
