Has anyone successfully installed electric life power windows in a 73 Swinger? I have been fighting mine and im making no progress.
So now im reaching out to see if anyone has actually got them to work in a 73 swinger. Im going to make one last attempt to get them working before I yank them out and put in the stock regulators.
 

Yeah its the right set. The packaging was labeled correctly and all the dimensions match up to the original regulator. It mounts up fine, just cant get it to not bind.
I searched this site and google, not much info out there. Thats why I want to know if anyone else has installed this in a 73 dart.
Anyways, im going to mess with it for an hour or two this evening. If I cant make any progress then out they come and in go the original regulators.

I know this is older post. But did you get the electric windows working. Restoring a 73 swinger and look for electric windows kit.
 
Nope, I yanked it out and put the original regulators in. They worked just fine, the motors just didnt have enough *** to crank the window up. Going down was just fine and up was slow until about half way then it wouldnt go up any more on its own.
I think if it was the 72 down smaller window it would have worked.

Thanks for the update. I have another set of regulators for it so gonna try to modify them to except a motor.
 
I bet you could find a donor OEM motor in the junkyard that could be fit on the new regulator that would be stronger than the crap china one.
