1966 122s Engine Type? 120-130

I have a 1966 122S, 2-door. So I guess it is a 130. I'm trying to figure out what B18 engine is in this car (18A or 18B). I haven't been able to find any help in website history lists, etc. The specifications for tune ups are, according to the manuals I have, rather different.

The cars ID number (on the firewall plate) is 13244 VF. This is followed (next number down)by 174945. (As far as I know, the original engine is in the car). B18 is forged in the engine block. Across the side are the numbers 4968 21 10912. Further down on the engine block is KB6 418201.

I'm particularly interested in knowing what the timing setting of this engine should be. Haynes lists the B18A at 21-23 degree BTDC. The B18B is listed at 17-18 degree BTDC. So what is it to be?

I'm trying to get a WEBER DGV (water choke)carb dialed in, and there is some chatter that ignition should be advanced a bit to make it run properly, but I need to know where to start. Thanks.
