 Here's the thread with the discussion:
http://65gs.com/board/index.php/topic,47.15.html

There is a direct match for the 66 springs, but the 65's have been more elusive.

Thx. Walt.
Well long story short, I took a chance and ordered the MOOG-6041 from Summit ($76.95/pair).
they have the following measurments:
Inside diameter. 3.650"
Wire diameter. 0.718"
Installed height. 11.25"
Load. 2806 lb
Spring rate 499lb/in.
Free height. 17.12"
I let you guys know how they worked out.
