I have a 34 Standard and the vacuum wiper has finally bit the dust. I have owned the car since '74 and have been able to repair it a few times. I cannot find a rebuild kit for it. Does anyone make an electric unit that will fit into the header? I have a universal electric one but it is too big.
Thanks

 

put a long zip tie on one of the lugs and point the "tail" out so you can see it.

 

I'm on it [emoji1305]if the wife will let out of the house [emoji44]

The electric boat or street rod wiper motors are all universal fit the early chevys......I have been running one in my coupe since 1970 never failed.....speedway motors may have some listed on ebay with wiper arm included, I know I bought 3 of them from them..........you need to shorten the threaded shaft . Price depends on whether all chromed or black or whatever. They stick out a bit on inside thru header upholstery panel

Try YOGI;s also.

A guy named DAVID FICKEN in around NY has been doing that repair rebuild forever of vintage vacuum wiper motors..........Babylon NY, just came to me.......google him. Might not do internet ?

i hid the "mighty wiper" behind my header panel. can't tell it is there.

 

Put your wifes dress on, a little lippy stick in red and tell her your going to the gay pride day, opening day parade.
That ought to get you out for rest of day ???????????????????

mark the axle flange at top , then use crow bar between studs to turn the gears.

Could be the rest my life [emoji15]

TB, thanks for the heads up on the mighty wiper. How has it worked for you? I like it would fit behind the header panel. I have a boat one, would need to modify the panel for it. Just looking for options

it works fine. typical salesmanship, call it "mighty" and people will think it is powerful. it's ok and works fine for a hot rod. i did get caught in a pretty good rain storm on my trip to maryland, i could see. forget snow/ice or torrential down pours.

 

[emoji848] is that some kind of code ??
I got two and ahold turns from turning the yolk, but for some reason the drum flange won't turn the yolk,

you have to lock the other axle from spinning.

 

Now I feel like a dork

you shouldn't feel like that, even if it is true
you were just checking to see if it was a posi unit. both sides would have spun.

 

Both side do spin

So I just checked again and they do turn in the same direction? And only 2 1/2 turns

and the drive shaft yoke isn't spinning?

 

Only when I stop one hub from turning


Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

so the yoke only turns 2.5 times for every one revolution of the axle that is not locked?

 

Yes sir

too high for my tastes. but with the right cam it will work with that nail head.

 

Going to put a medium cam in it... but dose seem high , guess that's what I get for free

with those gears 2.50 you can attempt the local land speed record on an interstate near you.
you will have no bottom end grunt
no mid range pull
turn your motor into a powerless hunk of scrap metal

suggested street highway gears 3.25-----3.50.

Great now I have two rear ends to throw away! A Toyota and a Buick, next please, sure makes harder to find things when you live on an island [emoji849]

Here are some pic's of my '34. Owned it since '74. 327, Turbo 400, Dodge Dart K member and torsion bars. Finished it in 1981. Recently finished redoing it, new wiring, brake lines, rebuilt motor & trans. New vintage air. Adapted Chevy metric brakes to front. Repainted fenders. Still a few things to finish. Drive it almost daily.
