Take a pic of your VIN. Maybe you are looking at it wrong. I work in shipping, seeing different kinds of handwriting and print all the time, and sometimes you just have to get another opinion on what a letter/number is.

Probably a T, not a 1 or L. T = 200ci I6

+1 with starfury. I believe for the 66 there were only 4 codes:
A V8 289 CID 4V
C V8 289 CID 2V
K V8 289 CID 4V High Performance
T I6 200 CID 1V
