What Nate said. I wouldn't want hydraulic lifters. Mechanicals don't collapse
and make noise at upper level RPM when the engine gets warmed up and the oil
breaks down in viscosity.

I got the Chevy Duty model. It worked for about four years. This last snow

The easist way out would be to use the short shaft motor for a jeep. The best
way would be to send your vacuum motor to Ficken Wiper Service and let them
rebuild it for you. Is your life worth an outrageous sum of money? To you?
