It rattles very loudly when not moving.
you need to know 50% about nitro type.

NO not even close....
If your engine jumps when accelerating, or when certain noises are made when engine torques.
It needs replacing every 60,000 miles.
On ultimate conditions and the fastest of going you might get 75mph if the nitro is running at its peak i know i had a '73 400 nitro with a hooker exhaust system. I also had a '73 340 nitro on the best conditions i could get roughly 73 mph but the temperature had to be 0 or below to do that.
When the engine stops working, have a qualified mechanic look at it. That person will be able to tell you whether the engine can be fixed or needs to be replaced.
No published sn data that I know of.
no oil pressure or the engine locks up that's how you know.
Give us the year, make, model and engine size, you may not even have a carburetor.
The best that I can say is that the Lefever Nitro special was made from 1921-1948.I do not know if the serial numbers to year of production is available in the public domain.
There is an engine coolant tank , made of plastic , in the engine compartment on the passenger side that has a mark on it for the cold level of your engine coolant , maintain the coolant level up to that mark when the engine is cold
