The third digit is a 6 so this is a 1966.  The engine number should 
have aletter in front of it: K or M for a single carb, but they never 
got as high as this.  Is there a letter there?  This was probably 
rebuilt with a different case.

It is probably just adjusted to work well when cold and the chokes 
aren't working right so it is too rich once it is warmed up.
