Mac,
I'm sorry, we don't have the P/N for that motor. Google search for 90-96
Lumina APV wiper motor yields LOTS of sources and very good prices. We've
no way of knowing which will return the new Cardone design. Only one
customer has received it, AFAIK. Based on that one problem, we acted out
of an abundance of caution, hoping to save everyone trouble by modifying
the base plates.
Before installing your base plate, try bolting the motor to it, without
torquing the bolts down. If the motor flange at the gearbox touches the
base plate before the 3 mounting legs do, you'll need to cut/grind away a
little of the base plate -- the location will be obvious. The interference
isn't much, but could cause distortion and eventual problems.
HTH,
Ken H.
