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.
