What production change did Studebaker make on Avanti models after serial number R5168?

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.

And good thoughts they are!, Unfortunately not the correct answer though!:(

Did they move some electrical parts from the engine bay to under the dash to stop heating issues?

There was a service letter concerning that ...however, no, that's not the answer here!:(
