Cleveland's were only made up to 1974. Look at your block casting number behind the carburetor and then look up what the first four digits de-coded mean. The first digit will correspond to the decade. The second will be the year and oddly enough the month as well. The third digit will be the vehicle it was originally in. The fourth will be the Ford department. Example: mine is d8ae-8425-ca. The d is for the 70's, the 8 is for 78 and in August of that month. The a means galaxie and e means engine. The 8425 is the part number and ca indicates the number of times it was modified and put back out to market. Or you could just see if it has trapezoidal six bolt valve covers (windsor) or rectangular eight bolt valve covers (Cleveland).
