200mm is the diameter of the clutch driven disk.  The early size was 
180 mm, but all the VWs got the 200mm disk by 1970.  I think the T3s 
got it first, however, and this may have been in your year, 66.  

There were few vehicles sold with 6V, 200mm flywheels, so these are 
much sought after by the hot rodders because the 200mm disk will 
transfer much more torque.
