Re: DESPEARTELY SEEKING PULL-DOWN MOTOR!!!

I was just perusing the www.ascmclaren.com site and see Hank has
pics of most parts now for the verts including the pull down motor.

If the one you pulled from the Caddy isn't the same, maybe you got
the wrong year. There were several years that were to be avoided.
Somebody posted a while ago that the motors should be the same if
you got the right year.

Don't know if that helps.
