Tom is correct . . . except regarding front discs.
The 1966 model was the Kadett's first "B" model chassis and offered two 1.1 engines, the 11 and 11S - both are single Solex one-barrel carb engines. I have a 'tan cover', single-year 1966 Opel Kadett FSM which already includes coverage of front disc brakes available with the 11S engine from the start.
