Hi,

If your car has the original engine, the model number
for the engine will be on a flat area of the block on
the passenger side near the distributor.  I believe
you will see three digits and then a letter "L" and
then two more digits.  The letter L means it is a 232.
 (I could be mistaken about the L, the letter could be
a J instead.  One or the other means your engine is a
232.)

Also, if the engine looks like your 199 and it is the
original engine, then it is a 232, because the 199 was
not marketed until 1966 I believe.

Regards,
Joe Fulton
