I wanted power windows for my 66 dart but I"m cheap!

Great job! I like it I installed power windows in my 61 Dart Pioneer. I think I pulledthem out of a 60 Desoto. So nice to have. I really like your making something outta nothing though.

So, what mopar power window set up would be the easiest to install in a 68 barracuda fastback? any suggestions ?

That might take a bit of Salvage yard scouring to figure out. if your talking just adding a motor and bracket to your existing regulators (like I did)then it 's easy any of the 70-90's car,van - truck electric motors will work. if your talking complete regulator and electric motor, then you might have to find a power setup from a similar door configuration to the 67-69 barracuda since it's the regulators that are the key to rolling up and down the glass correctly.

Been doing some work on the dart this week and got the drivers side windows aligned with each other AND the top. @#$@#%$ what a chore, it took 6 hours of adjust this,then that. I even used the FSM's instructions but had to fudge a little since I didn't have manual window anymore But now that I figured out what I'm doing the passenger side should go a lot faster.

Bringing your thread back alive since I would like to add power windows into my 65 Dart wagon which is in the process of converting it into a 2 door sedan delivery using 66 doors sedan doors along with the the B pillar. I hope to avoid your alignment times since the window is only up and down.

I found that most of my alignment issues were my fault. I didnb't clock the motor enough to get the range of movement once I removed the motor and moved the motor position to the best position and it aligned fine.

Got a question on that finger-getting spring! Does it need to be re-installed after installing the motor or discarded?

oops sorry for the late replay. working on the rv to get it ready for a much needed vacation. in refferrence to the spring , you need to leave it off. it takes too many amps to drive the window one way.
 
Bringing this thread back to life! I read the whole thing and was wondering if you had any pictures of the installed regulator?
 
@66Dvert thanks to your tutorial, my 65 Dart 2 door panel wagon now has power window motors that move the regulator arms up and down as they should.

Thanks! I just got my junkyard regulators and motors yesterday. To clarify, do I need to remove the spring on the factory regulator?

looks good! Glad to help. But just wait till you do a rear window on a convertible, that is when the fun stuff starts:rofl::rofl::rofl:

backwards mounting and reverse directions is the only way the older motors fit into the car and clocking the motors for good adjustment suckS!!!!!

flip it over and the "up" spring on that side should be removed or it goes up WaYYYYYYYYY to fast. but be careful it's a finger accident waiting to happen, just crank it up all the way up once you get it out of the car to relieve some tension to be a bit safer and clamp it down when you remove it.
here it is installed with the door panels off (still thinking of making them on the vacuum former like a 2000 and up car with door locks and opener(door popper)) just like originals mounting and no crank handle.
