Which vacuum motor for 229 swap?
« on: April 10, 2012, 01:44:42 PM »
Will the Eagle one interfere with low range shifting? I have both (the other is from Grand Wagoneer I got the NP229 from) I'll be working on it tomorrow and don't want any nasty problems to pop up.

I'm pretty sure they are identical also. However, you need to use the 229 bracket because it incorporates the low range linkage.

Doh! I meant to say the brackets! That answers that! Rain poured yesterday so I didn't do anything on it.
