70 Duster power window install
looks ok to me,and a pretty good job of converting. But why invent the wheel again? Just take a mopar power window motor. your original regulator drill out the rivets to the crank handle (since the manual window crank gears match the power window gear), mock up a 3 hole flat piece of metal and tack into position, check fit and move or clock the motor to clear obstructions. minimal parts required, minimal fabrication (unless it's a convertible rear motor which totally sucks!)
original regulator with the crank handle removed (note to self remove spring first) ok I forgot on 3 of them and luckily I didn't get a finger taken off, roll the window regulator UP to remove some tension from the spring it's easier (that was 4th try)
mine was cracked and old so it was a good one to start with since it was loose anyway.
mounted the gear to check mesh. ohhh looks nice. then tacked it in place till final welding
really need to clean up the flat plate but it worked for the test fit.
another view. yeah the original bolts for the motor worked and wer close but didn't hit
This was just hacked together to test fit in my 66. took 1 hour to make the pieces (all 4 motor mounts)to mount motor and mesh with gears correctly installation in the front was on par with removing the regulators. wiring was a bit more time but I took the wiring from another car in the yard that had power windows and made the connectors match. with the spring ON it was just too fast going up for my liking. I ended up pulling the spring off and adding a resistor to get it to the speed I could live with here is a video.
