Thanks for the review, bobthevan, sounds promising, I definitely need to draw less amps, does it blow about the same amount of air as the original?

Now I see they are back as Uro Parts new around $90 at the usual places, autohausaz.com, rmeuropean.com, ebay.com, etc. I just ordered one for my 84 300D...hope they draw less amperage than the original. Will let you know how it works out if anyone is interested.

Also, I found that the new motor had a faint but clearly audible whine that the old motor never had. It's kind of annoying until I get up to speed and other noises drown it out. :-)
