An "81" is the Holley Model 92, a replacement for the Stromberg 81. The "94" replaced the Stromberg 97. The Model # or letter identification should be embossed on the fuel bowl side that is not visible in the photo. That will give a better idea the years it was used.
Stromberg 97's are still being made...http://www.stromberg-97.com/carburet...97.asp#prodfrm
