Two things come to mind for about that time period; 1) first use of Sears Allstate tires and 2) improvement to the 1963 style seat (still not the thick back seat). As usual, these answers come from my memory. If incorrect, I will leave it to someone else to research it.

1963r2 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Did they move some electrical parts from the engine bay to under the dash to stop heating issues?

mfg Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Posted January 22, 2019 14 hours ago, NHcamper said: Drip rails? No, sorry, not the drip rails. Another HINT......Let's narrow this down to a change concerning the power window motor itself!
mfg Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Posted January 31, 2019 ANSWER.......Extra ground wire added to p/w motor housing after Avanti R5168!
