(antman101@aol.com) ------------------ The motors in my 63 had the Ford number(C0LF-14553-B) and the Bosch number(M 05810 BA) printed on them. I was also told that Ford number(C1AB-14553-A) also would fit. I don't know what they were used on though. (jtusher@home.com) ---------------------------------------- 1987 Window motors - Ford The window is listed at Discount Auto for both the left and right side. I purchased one in Orlando (only available at 1 store here). The part # was 42-46 for the right motor. Mine came without gears however several sets of gears are also available at Discount Auto. I do not yet have specifics on the gears since I have not taken out the unit. My Avanti is a 1987 ("KEITH PHILDIUS, SR." Sep 2001) ---------------- 1988 Window motors - Chrysler 1988 Window Motors - 03 May 99 The 88 window motor is Chrysler. There are two motors one less expensive than the other. Avanti used the more expensive motor. ---------------- 1989 Window motors - Chrysler 89 Avanti Window Motor/Assembly 11 May 99 (replaced in my LSC and they indeed were the more expensive Chrysler motors. $164.00 loewy@alltel.net ) Note: Lube & test entire mechanism BEFORE buying new motors... ed ) --------------------------- 1963 - 84 Window Motors From: Jack Usher Date: Thu Apr 13, 2000 They interchange to a Ford(COLF-14553-B),and Bosch(M05810 BA). I took these numbers off mine when I had it out of the door. I found that it was just gummed up with old lubricant and a little cleaning got it. ------------------------------ Lore from the email lists -------------------- cross reference for the power window motors in the 63-64 Avanti (& possibly up to 1985). The FoMoCo part # as you may know is COLF14553-A or B. This is a p/w motor for a 1960 Lincoln (ok, so they're hard to find too!) but the cross reference is to a Motorcraft Part #MM156 which is still being made! Can we get some pricing samples from across the continent on this item - I was quoted $413.66 each by one local Ford dealer. (blrs@netcom.ca) Apr 98 (NOTE: This was researched pretty throoughly by the editor. Found that the Motorcraft company was NOT associated with Ford, just an aftermarket parts manufacturer. The number MM156 was valid, but always came up with NLA when searched for.) You may keep this info for the big swap meets and get lucky... August 2001 The 1963-1974 cars equipped with electric windows use an American Bosch motor with four wires that connect directly to a control switch located on the door. The four wire motors are not readily available. The 1975-1985 cars use an American Bosch motor with two wires that connect to a relay that connects to a control switch located on the console. The two wire motors are available. The window mechanism is common from 1963-1985, and both types of motors mount in a similar fashion.

He rebuilds the window motors we use/need. If they work electrically but don't engage and lift window, like one of mine, he will sell the 3 round cylinders, done in polyurethane, rather than nylon, that lock the inner and outer gears together (see Bob Johnstone's site for a great 1999 article from Auto Restorer magazine) . He sells a 13" stick (does 10 motors) for $25. postpaid. Also has high copper content brushes for them for $10/motor set. he can be reached at 770-271-9627. You can send him motors to be rebuilt also. Address is 611 Eva Kennedy Rd, Suwanee, GA 30024. A LOT cheaper than the prices I've been seeing for replacement motors. Thanks , Bob J. for article and lead to him.
