Thunderchicken60 I recently was told of an arcticel in Early Bird Mag.about a method to free up sticky or non working wipers.Here is what I did,I removed the right motor mount nut and loosened the left so I could move motor forward enough to get my fat hand behind it.
I replaced the old vacuum hose,just to the left of that port is an open one,I placed a new hose on that port and ran it out into the glove box area.At first I started the car and turned on the wipers and ran brake fluid through the motor while I worked the wipers by hand.Did that for about 15 mins,to no avail.Then I said to myself,self lets try some PB Blaster-kinda like WD 40 but better-That did not seem to work either.
I decided to take the old bird out for a ride as I had just reset the timing and carb-vacuum is now at 18 deg.-She ran beautifully no hesitation and lots of power.Along the way I kept working the wipers and by the time I got home 30 mins later they where working great.
My next project is finding a spring for my clock.Any ideas. George
