Just a few changes make a big difference --
ad orientem and dumping the junky 1970's music in favor of reverent music (including Latin Gregorian chant, and traditional hymnody). Oh, and no crowds of inappropriately dressed "extraordinary ministers of communion," who aren't "extraordinary" if they're used
every single Sunday, either. And use the Roman Canon for Sunday Masses.
Except for the first item, everything on that list is completely under the pastor's control.

I never witnessed lay readers, nor ad populum, in the U.S until the early ‘70s.
I don’t know where you witnessed them. Europe, maybe?

Absolutely in the US. In fact, my hometown parish built and dedicated a (rather ugly) new church from 1966-1968 which was not built to allow ad orientem and has never had an ad orientem Mass.

..."which was not built to allow ad orientem and has never had an ad orientem Mass."If you're talking about free-standing altars, they never necessitated an ad populum mass.
Saint Peter's basilica has long had a free standing altar where Mass has been celebrated both ways.

There's no way to celebrate ad orientem when there's barely a foot between the front of the altar and the sanctuary steps, as there is in the church I'm talking about, built before the Novus Ordo was promulgated.

Dedicated in 1968. If you wanted to celebrate ad orientem, you'd need to move the altar about 6 feet back from where it is, and has been, since 1968.
