The changeover was October 1, 1965 according to the Ford master part catalog. There, of course, will be some variance from this as the older stock is used up. Your May 2, 1966 date is way too far off for a variance. How sure are you that the housing is even a Mustang housing?

G'day
This is what I have to go on.
The pictures of the center part of the housing to the axle tubes appears correct for the early housing. You need to have a picture towards the rear spring mounts to see if there is a taper in the axle tubes. Even if there is, you probably have an incorrect housing for your build date. The snubber bracket on the third member is also the early version and incorrect for your production date.

Thanks Fred
This photo is a little further across and shows the tapper.
Cheers

I agree as that housing is for the 65 and not for 66.
