after a little bit of research - here's what i found (thanks to mg
cycle and john at euro motoelectrics)<br>
early ambos have a blind stud on top bolt. can be difficult to figure
how to get bolt in.....i could of ended up drilling valeo starter
threads out,and used a allen head bolt (regular bolt will not clear
valeo..and an allen head bolt probably would need to be ground down
also..) instead i did it the hard way, and cut the head off a bolt,
hacksawed a groove in end and screwed it right in..i also had to grid a
little bit off the valeo to make everything fit..relocated ground to
bottom bolt. grind down neutral switch stud and nut.<br>
there are 2 different marelli starters - one wire solenoid has starter
ground. two wire version pulls ground from 2nd wire...since valeo
solenoid pulls ground from starter, 2nd wire is moot point..<br>
so, after all that, it works like a champ. i'm gonna order one for my
74 eldo, which should be easier to fit...<br>

Greg,
If I remember right, just one is used from the relay to the Valeo. I did
this mod on my Ambo a few years ago. Tom Bowes should be able to go
right out to his garage and check it for you on Cedar.
