Also, They do not fit very well in an A-body. You can see how I had to mount it with the motor inside the door and the track on a pretty bad bind. Still doesn't work when I straighten the track out like I said earlier.
The only way to mount it straight would be to put it right where that big brace is inside the door, so that won't work.

The electric window motors draw a lot of current, are your wires big enough? The wires to my window motors were at least 14 gauge, and may have been 12 gauge.
Yes I tried big wires, tried with and w/o a relay. I even attached the electric motor directly to a fully charged car battery to eliminate all the wiring and the motor still seemed very weak. I see that places like Gary Ball sell the same type of kit for triple the price. I wonder if they are better. But I still didn't like how they fit in my door on a bind.

Or you can take a C body power window assembly and swap arms from your A or B body onto the C body. I drilled mine and only added 1 lbs per front assembly.
Plus I used the C body harness.
