It was the motor, got one coming, been tested and works well. All that digging. And guess what --- I need to sell my 72 - gotta face facts, I have a 2yr old now, one coming in July, no seatbelts in my daily driver except for me. And since its a daily driver can't have it sitting in some shop getting overhauled with new seats, and everything to make it kid friendly....I wish I had enough cash to keep it as a toy...
