" Ambo 67-68 WB=118"
" Ambo 69-74 WB=122"
" Matador 71-78 WB=118"

they might've used different driveshafts but they definitely had
different crossmembers.

" And, good luck finding a six-cylinder crossmember for an Ambassador. You'll have to find a fleet el-strippo car to find that.

my '67 marlin had a 6, and at the 4seasons amc/rc concours the only
'67 to show up also had a 6.  true, this doesn't say how common ambo
sixes are.
