Has Carter carb. tag 38462(47)? Need to rebuild

D8 this a stock carb?

The Serial number on the door post only indiactes if its a 6 or 8 cyl. engine car.Does not indiacte which V8 engine.The 250 HP engine will have an R or RA in the block code stamp.The 300 HP a RB,RK,SB or SG..
The 300 Hp engine will have an Aluminum Carter AFB carburetor and the large 2 1/2" exhaust pipes.

finally found the cowl VIN tag

12B
style 63-1847 body JA14335
trim 858-Z Paint 934
ACC C.M.

What does this tell me? Haven't found # from engine yet. I want to restore to factory original or close to it.

Look on the passengers side front of block below the cylinder head there is a pad on the block with letters stamped on it,post these numbers to id it.
