Yeah, Coil Spring Specialties states they 'calibrate' the springs, which I don't think means what people think. I bet their' tolerance is still 10% or more.
Taller springs (free height) don't really change your pinion angle measurement, but it might change a little through the entire sweep of travel but shouldn't have a negative effect.
Longer shock stroke? That doesn't sound right either. But, if a spring is too tall, that could be. And suspect the wagon spring is just that, since it's the wrong application.
Like I mentioned before Global West does make 65-66 springs, I suggest calling them. They don't list everything on their' website, but the springs they use are <5% tolerance.
Classic Industries lists springs for the 65-66 B-Body (impala), and they list Global West springs, as well as a number of other manufacturers that make specific springs:

Here's the Global West listing they have for the B-Body:

I don't particularly trust Classic Industries, I have in the past gotten wrong parts from them, so I still suggest calling Global West.
If you get a 'stock height' rear spring, and do a 1.5-2" drop in the front, it should work out good. Again, I suggest calling.
