pickup dilemma

i have dilemma.

i have 4 sets of pickups.

1 set being an old 82 fullerton reissue set ( i have an 82 with red bobbins also )

i have a set of 67 chubtones that i bought from someone here about a year ago..reverse wound

i have a set of chubtone 63 set with el gordo..non reverse wound.

i also have 2 original 1965 strat pickups

1 measures 5.48 and the other 1 measures 5.524

the 66 pickup measures 6.56

do you think these 3 pickups will be a good set to put together ?

and which positions would you place them in ?

i know many put the more powerful pickup in the bridge but in the vintage years i believe they put the more poweful pickup in the neck position ?

i also have an illitch noise reduction backplate so the 67's are really not an option at this point because of the reverse wind.

thanks in advance.

The '65 and '66 pickups. Put the '66 in the bridge.
