The reason they did this is that the C tower wasn't out yet
actually I'm not kidding (well maybe a little).
Since everyone found that you run the A tower (the standard back then) with .060 washers (2 ball stud washers), AE changed the mold slightly. Why you ask? People were bending ball studs when running 2 washers.
That is the story that was passed down by our trackfather and now I pass it down to you. Take it for what it's worth....... or don't..... doesn't matter to me
