Re: [Amc-list] Parts interchange between Matador and Ambassador

My wife's 72 Javelin had the 3 hole balancer with a 727.  I'm not sure what 
year they changed.  Her car also has the Saginaw power steering pump.  I 
thought they changed from Eaton to Saginaw in 71.  

One small item you should pull from the Ambo is the door strikers.  72 was the 
last year that the strikers used the 1/2" threads.  These are getting hard to 
find.  If the spring thingy is missing or damaged there are rebuild kits 
available.
