I have a 1961 Willys SW that currently has vaccum powered wipers. The =
vaccum moter works just fine, but it does not work as nicely as an electr=
ical model. The main problem is that on acceleration or at highway speeds=
the moter just doesn't move fast enough to be sufficent.
I have thought about installing a vaccum pump because it would probably=
help a lot, but I do not have one in my collection of 'tresures' so I =
would have to get one from a junk yard. I am not sure that that a pump =
would be the best idea because I hope that some one makes an electric wip=
er kit that would work better.

If anyone on this list has done something along the lines of swapping =
electric wipers from another vehicle or has advice about how to improve =
what I am working with now I would love to hear it. If I decide to go wit=
h electric wipers or some solution that does not require the orginal vacc=
um wiper moter and someone on this list is looking for one I would part =
with it.

I generaly enjoy the messages that I get from this list and I would like=
everyone to know that every bit of advice helps to some degree, wether =
or not I use it for my restoration or for sealing the wood under the bed =
of my '34 Chevy truck. Everyone comments are appreciated by me. :)
