Thanks for all your help!!! you are a great bunch! I´ve seen there are quite some folks from this side of the pond on here too!

I have checked the engine numbers, the block reads AB 51088xx and the head G38T-6050 19K51 EB. The distrubutor is a Bosch, aswell as the rest of the ignition system. I tried playing around with the choke rod and backed up the choke rod fitting a couple of turns, e voila she runs way better than before, no bogging up to 45 mph, and then a bog here and there. I also found the idle mixture screw( at least that´s what I think it is) was too far out also. I hope I can start from there and make her drive as she is supposed to be. I still think the spark is a bit weak, but with the carb out of adjustment there were just too many things off.
