Need a wiper motor for 1972 240z will 97 honda motor work

[marantz2250b]

Hello I just got a 1972 240z wiper motor is dead.

I looked at the honda upgrade but guild was for a 73 240z

Would the honda work in 72 ? Would the wiring be different then the guild?

I just dont want to pay $300 for a used motor.

Need one soon because it's raining

I've got the wiper motor from my original '70 C Production race car sitting in my attic. As far as I know the wiper motor was never used, as the car was taken off the showroom and stripped of extraneous parts. The plastic encasing the harness is brittle and the plastic surrounding the 5-prong plug is cracked (the car including stripped parts sat in the Mojave Desert for years). At least the unit has no rust. I'd put it away in the event the unit from my street car failed, but since I never drive that car in the rain it's sort of a moot point. Probably $100 including shipping from central CA, and I'll guarantee it. Let me know if interested.

The Honda motor works fine on a '72. I put one in mine, ground the shaft slightly wrong, then found one of the ones from the civic that already has the correct shape on the shaft, so I put that one in. I've got 3 other motors from Hondas that need the shafts ground to the correct angle and I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I plan to sell them after I'm done. Anyway, its pretty easy to do. You could even have Dave Irwin do the wiring mods and find the proper motor for you for a fee. Take a look at the posted thread and it should have all the info you need.
