Let $P(a, b)$ be a point on the parabola $y^2 = 8x$ such that the tangent at $P$ passes through the centre of the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 14y + 65 = 0$. Let $A$ be the product of all possible values of $a$ and $B$ be the product of all possible values of $b$. Then the value of $A + B$ is equal to.
