Bill's instructions for the Taurus motors states:
On the Pantera driver side lift mechanism, place the Taurus passenger side window lift motor (Taurus Ford PN E6DF-14A366-AB labeled "RF") as shown in Fig. 6. Check to be sure that the Taurus drive gear is fully engaged, but not binding, with the Pantera lift mechanism sector gear.
Sounds like to me that the motor should be more than 50% engaged. I have 2 Taurus motors waiting to be installed so anyone else had a problem or recommendations please add to this.

There are two planes of engaugement. He is refering to how close the axle center lines of the gears should be together. (the length of gear assembly)
I am refering to the other plane (which cannot be modified) the height of one gear in relationship to the other.
I'am around 50% with everything bolted together.
That is much more then I thought I had mocked up.
The wear pattern on the gear of the motor (yes the part numbers are correct) would tend to indicate that this amount is approximately correct.
I'm concerned because the gears on the Pantera part(just forgot it's term, sorry, brain fart), is stamped steel, not hardened.
Now since I probably only open my windows once or twice a year anyway it probably won't wear out in my lifetime.
Now I'm as of this moment still working on the first one, the passenger side so all this is tentative.
It could still blow up, not work, or otherwise crapout.
I will soon find out.
