Re: [Amc-list] Power steering on 64 classic

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

IIRC, the low profile accessory mounts were introduced on all models 
in 1975 in anticipation of the Pacer, which debuted in March 1975.  I 
have a "what's new for the 1975 AMCs" special service manual that 
describes the changes, but not the true reason behind it, because the 
Pacer introduction was delayed.

Technically, that meant the new accessory mounting setup arrived in 
late '74, but AFAIK all '74 models had the old style brackets.
