Thanks for the info. I printed it and will put it in the binder with my Tech 
Guide.

OK
Here is the little write up on the changes that occurred for the 65-66 model 
years. There are 117 differences/changes. If you can think of any others, 
let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Changes to 1966 model year from 1965 model year *

Items include those first offered in the 1966 model year and items that were 
put into production during the transition between the 1965 and 1966 model 
year.  This list contains items and changes generally considered to be 1966 
in nature but, many  were running changes that occurred towards the end of 
the 1965 model year and therefore can be found on a number of  late 
production 1965 Corvairs.  Also a few items were first make available later 
in the 1966 model year and will not be found on all 1966 models. When 
possible, dates for running changes are included. Dates on running changes 
were gathered from the 1965 and 1966 assembly  manuals.  The dates listed 
represent the date the changes were incorporated into the assembly manual 
with a revision.  I believe these dates should be viewed as a ballpark 
figure, give or take a week or two, on when the changes took effect. 
Although the changes may have actually occurred on the dates listed in the 
assembly manual, it appears  unlikely that GM would be so precise with 
running changes.  Corvairs were also produced in three different plants 
during the 1965 and 1966 model years, (Willow Run, Van Nuys, Oshawa).  You 
would do well to assume that they did not occur at precisely the same time 
at all three plants.

This list is as complete as possible but I'm sure I missed a few items. Feel 
free to drop me an email If you find any other changes to corsa at comcast.net
