The first b is probably a 6, thats the way they looked plus they did not use lower case letters. H is Flint, the rest it the VIN for the car it came from.
On the same surface as that stamp should be some letters like
M R or M T - find that and report back here for more info!
M designated 1966.
MR 401 from a GS
MT 401 from full size car
MW 425 single carb
MX (rare!) 2-4bbl carb
Other letters intead of M:
J '63
K '64
L '65
M '66
