Just to add: the engine codes (5th digit) got shuffled around between 66 
and 67. In 67 the 318 Poly was replaced by the LA-318, the 361 was 
dropped and replaced by the 383 2bbl. and the 440 Magnum/Super Cammando 
was added to the B body.
 
So the codes for 1966 B bodies are:
B-225
D-273
E-318 Poly
F-361 
G-383 4-bbl
H-426 Hemi

For 1967 the B body codes are:
B-225
D-273
F-318 LA
G-383 2-bbl
H-383 4-bbl
J-426 Hemi
L-440

I'm not positive about the Coronet but all 1966 Chargers, including the 
318 Poly, came with 8.75 rears and 727 automatics and inside hood 
releases. The hood release was dropped in 67.
