Default What I found was close to....

1940 block casting of 839132 ....

Head is shown as 1940

Serial numbers get s&&&& up during the war but they have 3665902

Serial prefix should be AR or RA..... so maybe the guy on the line was having a bad day when punching numbers.

Have you tried a compression test..... or a few drops of oil....even WD 40 just to wet the rings...... fresh gas from one gallon tank gravity feed into the carb...

Check your points they may be partly oxidize if sitting for a long time.... 400 grit emery could cure that for a quick fix.

Watch for back fires....

good luck.
