If it is an HP, orange I believe

'66 would be turqouise. orange didn't happen until '69.

Correct color for 1966 Dodge/Plymouth 440

Turquoise is correct for ALL big blocks in 1966 (except the orange Hemi).

Corporate Blue didn't show up on a big block until 1972, when that color was universal across the board in cars.

I don't think you could get a 440 in a 66 "B" Body. It was available in the "C" bodies only?

Correct.

So does this mean if my AB fender code on my 65 Coronet is "61" my 383 is a HP and should be orange?

AB=60 383 cubic inch 2 bbl
AB=61 383 cubic inch 4 bbl 330 hp
AB=62 383 cubic inch 4 bbl 315 hp (only C-body)

I guess this answers my own question. It is turquoise as indicated in the link below. Hi-performance 69-71 383/440 motors were street hemi-orange. lewtot184 was right!!!
