Vacuum Wipers

Post by M37UK »

Anybody any ideas on how I canrun my vacuum wipers when I dont have the mechanical fuel pump fitted to my truck?
Is there part of the manifold I can connect the vacuum hose to?

Or do I have to switch to electric motors?

Any help and advice welcome !!

You can draw directly off the intake manifold, having the vacuum booster fuel pump doesn't make much difference anyway. Having a really good condition wiper motor is the key.

There are three 1/4" NPT plugs that can be screwed out of the manifold, front, center, & rear. The front or rear end of the assembly can be accessed easily, just remove 1 plug & replace with the correct fitting to accept the rubber vacuum hose. Route the hose to the wiper motors following the same route as original.
