Well, trying to trace the electrical on the wiper motor produced that dilemma. After reading in Keith Hardy's book that it was a vacuum type motor and I should be looking for a vacuum hose instead of an electrical wire, I found it alright. One inch of hose cut off right at the wiper motor. Does that mean that a '56 235 engine is not designed to feed a vacuum hose to this wiper motor? I sure would hate to have to rig some kind of rubber band with a foot pedal or attach it to a round cage with a squirrel in it. Any suggestion from the "Brotherhood of the Bolts"?

I took a couple of pix and if you look at pix # Eng.-10 the intake manifold has a port with a plug (square head) facing out, is that it? It also has Fenton dual exhaust manifolds with each one having a buttonlike port with outer threads. Do you have any idea what are those for?

Paul B. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | The ports on the fentons are to heat the intake manifold.Do a search on heated intake manifold,you will find plenty of information on the subject.
