Re: 1965 P/W motors

Don't know much about soaking them in ATF but if you continue to have
trouble I seem to recall that Leon's over in Culpeper VA had a couple of
65 Ambo wagons with the power windows.  I was thinking about going back
down there for them so I could have spares for my 66 wagon.  Might be
worth a trip to you if all else fails.
