Howdy!
Being the procrastinatin' type I ended up with the Eldo 8/37 gear on my
Ambassador.
I had rebuilt the whole driveline, engine, transmission, u-joint. Well I
got to the rear and looked at the pile of new stuff and then glanced over
to see a perfectly funtional Eldo unit. Rode off on it 30 minutes later.
Been 8 years.
Anywho.. The moral of the story is it FLIES down the road. The fresh engine
(now has about 5K on it) with the higher numeric gear is a scream to ride.
BTW Guzzi makes (or made) six (I think) different gearsets that fit the
Loops, etc. I'll post the ratios if anybody wants to know.
