Hi Brett,
I have Ambo #25950, 10/71 build date. Matching numbers/Eldo block.
The last run of Ambo's used the newer Eldo block. The factory
apparently used Eldo parts as Ambo parts ran out. Mine had the 4 ring
Ambo pistons vs Eldo's that used 3 ring pistons. You will also find you
have the larger diameter throwout bearing in the 4 spd that was
introduced in the 5spd's.
So you live by Eagle Creek? My folks lived in Eagle Valley, the creek
ran through the back yard.
Have fun,
JU
