I used a Vintique 12V motor on my '41. Vent operated OK but the motor immediately quit. They replaced it but it parked wrong. They told me how to correct the park position. I hated it! It squeaked, was noisy and had different sweeps side to side. Talked to a Vintique rep at the NSRA show in Louisville and I told him I thought the "rocker" arm on the motor was shaped wrong. He said no way but offered no fix. Finally I reinstalled my vac. motor and sweeps were correct so I knew it was a problem with the electric motor. I got a 12V motor from a junk yard(Honda), mounted it behind the glove box, ran a linkage from the 12V motor to my vac. motor with no guts and problem solved. Silent, full sweeps, parked correctly and it cort about $10 !
