The motor is basically the standard GM wiper motor of the last 10 years or so.

They come in a few varieties and the one DSE uses is from LS1 Camaros.

I have one of those myself, bought on eBay for $30.00, then you need a connector (if the scrapyard doesn't provide it) and a switch.

The switch is a little tricky, you need a rotary switch with at least 9 positions, they usually comes with 12 positions and it has to have at least two planes.

If you are interested I have a wiring diagram for it made up in a short while. I am doing it just now.

You have to fabricate a bracket for it to adapt to the car. Easily done from 1/8 thick aluminum. I have a template for it too.

You can also use the wiper motor from a S10 pickup.


PM me if you need any of the drawings.

We used a wiper ,otor from an 88 Vovol....made a simple L bracket and munted it on the inside of the cowl for the smooth firewall look.

It works great and it was straight foward * sorta of *...I will try and post some pics.

I hope bumping old threads isn't frowned on. I'd very much like to have a copy of the template, and the scanned article emailed to me.

Okay - not the easiest route - but if you are looking for ultra clean and fully functional - check out the VW wiper mod.

You can see details on my www.mcspeed.com site under the 69 Camaro.

Basically, you get a junk yard 85 or so VW wiper motor. You will need a couple of relays a capacitor and some spare wire to make it go.

I ended up putting a 1981 Corvette column in my car - then converted to a 1996 Caprice wiper/cruise switch and ran it all through the column. That gave me space to put a fuel pressure gauge on the dash panel where the old wiper switch would have gone.

Again ... a bit more work - but it is so clean and smooth.

If anyone has used a standard GM wiper, what have you used as a switch? I'm using this in a '68 Camaro and would like to keep the switch mounted on the dash if possible. (For '69+ you can simply replace the turn signal stalk with one from the Wiper motor donor vehicle)
I have things mocked up with a stepper switch and a breadboard with a handful of various resistors. I'd like to utilize an OEM switch if possible, before I go down the path of trying to cram a small circuit board onto the back of my stepper switch and also cutting the dash to fit this new switch.
