Thanks for following through with the search info. Can you post the RockAuto part #'s for members who may need this info later.
Let us know how you like them once received.
I have a complete lock set (ignition switch, door locks, glove box and rear hatch) off a '74. I'm not versed on interchangeability though...
If they will work, and you're interested, shoot me your best offer
thanks - joel
I believe there is a plastic snap piece that goes on the door panel (under the bolt head that holds the arm rest). Do you have something like that to snap the chrome part to?
I used plain ol black engine paint from NAPA Auto Parts. It's held up fine for 8 yrs. I'm not sure how it would stand up to something like carb cleaner or such...
Sorry to hear this from you.... So many people have problems with these motors, it's insane! I guess I did something right. Going on 10,000 mi in mine w/o a hick-up.
Do you have any suspicions on what caused your RIPS short motor to fail?? Brand of oil doesn't sound likely...
