More often than not, It's the tail light. If you have eliminated the possibility of the back glass being the problem. And even without the rubber trunk seal you wouldn't get too much water in the trunk. It's kind of hard for the water to go down through the crack of the trunk lid & then back up over the lip where the rubber attaches. 99% of the water runs down the side channels & ends up going right down behind... you guessed it, the tail light. I don't think your 66 has gaskets that would allow water into the trunk(most old cars don't) It should only have 6 small holes that the studs go through to bolt the light to the rear panel. Before bolting the taillight on, make O-rings out of butyl tape & put them around the holes that those studs go through. (butyl tape is what the windshield & back glass are installed with, you can get a roll at AutoZone for about 10 bucks.)
