Well FINALLY!!! The motor is installed and working, but not without obstacles.
The motor I ordered from Checker Auto was Cardone #82-306. The motor is a match (except, made in China, like anything else), and there were some problems:
1) The gear was oversized, so the conversion gear would not fit. I had to file the teeth down until it fit.
2) The three mounting holes are oversized. I bought some spacers, 5/16 o.d. X 3/16 i.d.
3) the gear shaft was longer, so I had to hacksaw about 1/8" off the pin.
4) For some reason, the wiring was reversed. I had to wire red to yellow, and yellow to red for it to open/close properly. LOL
