Rockauto has different part numbers for delay vs. non-delay wiper systems. I thought the delay motors had different internal wiring? Cardone P/N 40383 (1985-1987) delay, non-delay Cardone P/N 40394 (1979-1984) w/delay Cardone P/N 40380 (1972-1984) w/o delay Cardone P/N 40350 (1968-1971) Wow...I had no idea the motors changed in 85. I guess that means the parts I have will only fit 85-87 vans. _________________________ Nate Breece (Nate the skate) 2% North Chesapeake Bay Vans A-100 Van Association Honorary Canadian(You Hoser!) -------------- 1994 Dodge B250 Elk Conversion (5.2L/A518) 1985 Dodge B150 "Burnin' Desire" (5.2L/A727)

Nate- I think the parts will physically bolt into the van, but you have to use the switch and wiring to match the year of the wiper motor. I think the change was all in the wiring. _________________________ Vannin.com is a free site! Remember to DONATE to help keep it alive! "2 Mopars come with Spark plug tubes.

A switch, control module, and wire harness from a '75-83 Ford F-series pickup or E-series van would work for this project, but P&P wants between $50 & $70 for everything... (depending on whether harness is considered "small, medium, or large" ) _________________________ new Junkyard Jitters Progress Report pages coming soon.

That used to be the only junkyard I went to anymore, but now the prices are insane for a junkyard. _________________________ Vannin.com is a free site! Remember to DONATE to help keep it alive!
