Rich,
I had a 4LS Amal-carb Eldorado in Canada back in the '70's which was
registered as a '74 model. It didn't stop really well, although I didn't
spend a lot of time trying to set it up. When I got another Eldo for
restoration, I looked for a disk brake model, which stops a lot better.

I spend a lot of money on my 'flintstone' brakes that I use on my Ambo
;-)

Yes, mine is a 4 shoe which origionally was outfitted with Amal
carbs. This
is why I refer to it as a 73.5 and call the disc brake version a
true 74. I
don't think Guzzi made changes based on a specific time of year.
Also, I
have noticed that these 4-shoe/Amal equipped bikes were usually
titled as
74's.
