Windshield Wiper Motor -

[dlfrisch]

Thanks for the reply....I got John Holland's name and phone number the other day, from a Ford Barn guy- Timbasher, but I haven't called him yet. Kind of in favor of installing an electric wiper motor. I probably should stay with the vacuum. ???

You will have to drill holes in your header because the ones you have for a vacuum setup are different than the ones for a stock Model A electric. And the new repro electrics have to be mounted on the inside and the actuating arm sticks out too far to open the windshield fully. Frankly, it's a big PITA and much easier to put the correct vacuum wiper in it. Rebuilt they work just fine. I have them in all three of my cars, and I live in Oregon, where it rains a lot!
