      Yes, that's the way the factory intake works. The fuel pump will give your wipers more consistent vacuum. It still won't be like modern electric motors but it should be better than it was. However if the motor works without the switch being on then you need to adjust the cable at the wiper motor.

        If you've kept the vacuum wipers do yourself a favour, disconnect the washer vacuum line, the thing is a mile long, always cracked and leaks. Leave the washer pump in place for authenticity if you want and hide an electric pump someplace (mines on the firewall under the brake booster. Also do the brake fluid trick in the wiper motor that's in the TRL, works very well. You'll never have the equivalent to an electric motor but if you get caught in the rain they'll do the job.

          You need something similar to these.

          The larger end goes to the brake hose and the smaller end goes to the inlet of the fuel pump.
