I have seen wiper motors to convert from vacuum to 12 volts from LMC $149.95, Brothers $189.95, Jim Carter $170.00, Chevy Duty $149.95, and Truck Stop $160.00. I will appreciate any advice.
Thanks

How was installation of the Jim Carter and how does it perform? Is the knob a twist or pull? Could the knob be replaced with some old knob?
John | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Installation was a snap for a young lithe guy (my buddy Jeremy) it may have been a bit harder for an old fat guy (me). It is a two speed twist switch and yes the knob can be changed to something more vintage. It comes with the ugly early '70s style black knob. Performance has been flawless so far, although I do have a little bit too much travel on the passenger side wiper. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 | I think I got mine from LMC, with some adjustment of the main connection on the motor,for travel,it works pretty good. I also have a little bit of travel issue on the right side. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 43 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 43 | Ugly knob included on my 56, but it works great. Received from Chevy Duty "American Classic". I think the company that manufactured it is Newport engineering. The wires are too short though. I had to extend them to go in the correct place.
