Paragraph 8e states the turn to base leg should commence 45 degrees from
the threshold, which requires final to be the approximately as long as
the
downwind is from the runway.


Stating that the turn from downwind to base leg should commence 45 degrees
from the threshold does not mean that final does not extend beyond the
base leg.

So now you are going to try to convince us that final doesn't follow base
leg. Do you have a reference?




Where is AC 90-66 inconsistant with the FARs?


FAR 91.113(g) states very clearly that aircraft on final have the
right-of-way. If you believe AC 90-66A says aircraft flying a full
pattern have the right of way you must believe that AC 90-66A is
inconsistent with the FARs.


No, as a matter of fact, the FAA clearly states in AC 90-66A that:

Aircraft on straight in approach should not disturb traffic in the standard
traffic pattern;

And, right-of-way rules apply as stated in FAR 91.113.

Obviously the FAA interprets FAR 91.113 much differently than you do.
