My candid advice....If you intend to buy a big 3 OEM conversion, you would be
wise to only close the deal if it includes a complete set of electrical
drawings.      You might find that the vendor will say, there are none, or
"this technology is no longer supported".... means that you won't get anywhere
requesting drawings.   My recommendation is.... know what you are buying....
especially when you might not be provided with the information to do
maintenance if in due course a circuit board were to fail.   Also let you
know...my opinion is biased as a typical conversion vendor and our stuff is
off-the shelf which essentially means that replacement parts can be
provided in
short order.
