great article
I went on the Bay immediately and got a rear Escort wiper motor that was in immaculate condition for cheap. I will perform the surgery sometime in the spring. This will be one of the last mods I will do. Presently, I am very pleased to say, that I just won a 73 Datsun choke like for my dash, which should be an exact fit. My winning bid was 25 cents. My twin choke electrical connection should hook up nicely. I also just won an 83 Mazda cruise control on/off switch for my dash. Again, based on the sellers dimensions, it should be a perfect fit. My dash should then be completely filled up.Comment
