1956 wiper motor help needed.... urgent

so i take off for a 600 mile drive to the race of gentlemen the day after tomorrow.... and my wiper motor decides to let the smoke out tonight.

I believe its some sort of conversion kit from Dennis Carpenter... does anybody know the replacement motor, or what it came from in its original OEM application? Trying to get the ball rolling on finding a replacement in less than 48 hours....

nevermind.. the motor cooled and started working again.

the root of my problem was the cowl vent bolt loosened and sent the linkage into the wiper linkage... siezed the motor.
