I've seen other posts on this, but nothing was really definitive.
The orginal power window motor in my '67 is getting really slow...like embarassingly slow.
Is there a bolt-in replacement available? Can the original be rebuilt? I've heard about Blazer power window motors being used- what (if any) mods are required to do this swap? Are the Blazer motors readily available, and will they be for a long time? I'd hate to swap an orphan motor out for one that'll be an orphan in another few years!
How hard is it to swap this thing out? Access looks unpleasant (at best) and if there's a trick to it, I'd like to hear it BEFORE I dig in to this thing.
Also- obviously I have a '67. Is this motor different from other years, or are they pretty much identical? If I find an NOS motor for a different year, should it swap right in?
Since the first one lasted 40-plus years, I'm hoping if I do this once, I should be okay for awhile.
