The F code engine would have originally been a 1300cc, and according to the listing in the tech section on this site, it'd also be one of the last of the F series single ports built somewhere between January and July of 1970.

As for the car VIN, the 116 beginning makes it a '66 model, and the remaining portion of the number when bumped against the chart on this site shows us the car to have been built in December of 1965 (the numbers listed in the chart are for the last one built that month).
