late 91 through 1992 year models had competely different pull-down mechanisms. Check out top-downsolutions.com, Lon is a member here and sells parts as well as rebuilt units of each kind.

You can't put your old unit on until you can spring for a rebuild kit? I think they're like $100. Take the part back to the yard and see if they have the right one? I feel your pain buddy, but when you're fixing up a nearly antique car, you are going to pay IF you can find the parts.

I once had the idea to get the latch and mounting bracket out of an 82-84 and have it welded in my car. These units are so prone to breaking and not going to get any cheaper or easier to find. I got a used unit and will baby it until it needs replaced again.
