Do not cut off the turn signal connector. I can't believe so many gomers do that, then reattach w/ a mass of ugly butt crimps. It is simple to release the pins from the plastic shell, using a little screw-driver. I can compare my 1965 w/ memory of my 1969 Dart. As I recall, they both used the same 8-pin "twin lock" connector, but the 1969 has 2 wires in the turn signal cam. I recall the reason is that the rear bulbs must serve for both brake lamp and turn signal, so they had to route the brake wire thru the turn signal switch. The same connector works in 1965 because they didn't use all the positions in the connector. As stated, you can easily swap turn signal switches, and I think they all have the same mounting holes, lever attachments, and horn ring roller. If picking, don't forget Dodge motorhomes, which continued some of the 1960's connectors into maybe 1990 (using up stocked parts?).
My 1969 column had a collapsible tube (for safety) and a matching telescoping steering shaft which can slide to compress. Google images to see which way the brake pedal goes around the steering column. I say this because I have the pedal assembly from a 1974 Dart and its pedal bends to go around the opposite side of the column as in my 1965. They might have done this because of the thicker collapsible tube. If true, your 1966 brake pedal might not have enough bend to clear a later steering column.
