OK- here is the straight scoop on windshield wiper motors from Classic parts. I am writing this with 1st hand knowledge as I just went through it last week. Classic parts sells a couple of wiper motors for a 1952 Chevy truck. Being as how I buy AMERICAN made stuff (Yeah, u won't find a Nissan or toyota in my driveway!!) I went for the Newport Engineering unit. Just recently I read a topic on this forum about these motors. It stated the Newport parts #NE4753CCT as the correct motor that would specifically clear the stock choke cable. Not the NE4753CT (1 "C"). So I call Classic parts, get the tech guy on the line to confirm this difference. He told me not to worry, the "CT" model would work fine, I just had to bend the choke cable a little bit and it would work. I thought to myself, that was strange because the first 4 inches or so of my knob bracket/cable holder was solid. This four inches or so extends inside the dash. Not easily bent. I told him of the different part #'s and he acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. Being very close to rude, I might add. Now if u know me, I am very honest. If I am not 100% sure of something I will not hide that fact. I learned long ago that that doesn't get u anywhere. Anyway, he was supposed to know his stuff, I thought, so I ordered the NE4753CT wiper motor. So I received the parts but called Newport just to make sure before I tried to install this thing. You see I trust the word of u Stovebolters, most of the time I get good and corect info here. Linda, at Newport, said the CT model won't work. It would interfere with the ckoke cable. She couldn't believe Classic parts didn't even list the CCT model. She will attempt to change this situation this coming week. I also learned that the knob extension that Newport sells will NOT work on a 52 P/U. It extends the switch so u can use the stock knob. Again, this will not work on a 52. So I hope this helps with any confusion regarding Classic parts and the newport wiper motors that they sell. It SHOULD BE staightened out next week. I would ASSUME that Classic parts will then sell this CCT model. But then again, as a USMC Ordnance officer once yelled in my ear- DO YOU KNOW WHAT ASSUMING MAKES OUT OF YOU AN ME!!!!!?????
