American Eagle bike model?

Hi all
New here, but eventually found my way to this amazing thread. I hope the following may be relevant to the general topic
I have hung on to my bike from grad school days (78-82, in Berkeley, CA). Back in the day (~79), I bought a used road bike, for transportation..., well it is still with me, and I have recently started to clean/resuscitate it (this may be a monumental job...). The headbadge says it is an American Eagle and the serial number stamped in the bottom is KS 47685 W. I take it this is a pretty old bike (before 75?). Out of curiosity, I wonder if I can identify the model. What are the distinguishing features to look for? The bike had been totally repainted when I bought it, so there are no identifying markings I can see. Thanks in advance for any hints

P.S. Tried to attach a picture, but apparently am too new here?
