Often wondered why Craig had so many motor issues. Perhaps his car had a damaged regulator too.

I believe the photos he posted of his conversion disappeared with the server move but I might have one or two showing the basics of the work if I can find them.

Do remember he chose to remove the Packard regulator setup entirely and adapt a street rod window conversion kit that included a new track type drive system. Required some new metal support structure for the mechanism. His electrical changes worked on the same polarity change principle as is needed with the Dorman motors but as I recall, was a bit more involved because he used different type relays.
