Glad you were able to solve your problem(s) with the O2 and Idle Solenoid...something to watch out for with my 84.

The vent window is *tightened* via pressure between two *plates* held together by a phillips head screw which is only reachable after you remove the interior panel and probably peel back the plastic stuck to the inside of the door. I had to do the same thing to my 84 several years ago. Need to do it again now...will be sure to put lock-tite on it this time.

IMO, your 67 (and mine) has a better setup.
