CKW could be a base 4-Speed engine from 72, or an L48 4-Speed engine from 76. 76 seems more likely, but you'll want to check for a casting date (I think V1105 is Flint, November 5, but no year).
The 6 before the S in the partial VIN would correspond to 1976 in a standard VIN, but I'm not sure how partial VINs work. Is that an L before the 6S? The VIN of the 1976 car it may have come out of would have been:
1Z37L6S412055
