Anyone out there know how much vacuum I should get from a stock '56 235. I can't get the wipers to work right and I need to check vacuum first. I may just switch to an electric wiper mtor.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

17-22" on a stock engine.

The vacuum wiper motor has a layer of grease on the diaphragm, which hardens with age. For a quick fix, squirt some silicone spray in the vacuum port on the wiper motor and let it set to soften the grease. If the diaphragm isn't broken, this will usually bring the wipers back to life.
