For the switch, just keep the switch on the wiper motor on all the time, and operate your wipers with an inline valve. This method works good, and you can mount that valve anywhere through the dash you want.
All vacuum wipers have to be connected to the manifold but what you can do is get a vacuum ball (canister). Hook up a one way vacuum fitting (similar to the one way fitting on a brake booster) to it and after the fitting put a T fitting with one going to the wiper motor and the other to the canister so that when you loose vacuum from giving it gas to go up hills you still have vacuum in the ball so you don't loose power to the wipers. (It works, I've done it before).
As David W said you will need a vacuum canister otherwise the wipers will stop on accelerating (on my 49 Chevy truck I have to wait until my windshield is hard to see through then let off the throttle). My thought is to hook the reservoir to the other vacuum port that you are currently plugging. With the cam you have you might to install an electric vacuum pump. My 49 has a little rod that runs from the switch on the dash to the wiper motor.
Get some Kano Kroil penetrating oil for those hard frozen metal items, works great. Glad to see the wipers going on! Not easy to get those right. LOL Nice work, great video!
I fought with mine for a while before I broke down and bought an electric powered replacement. I ended up taking half of a modern wiper blade and worked it to the end of my wiper arm. I'll try to remember to show it in my next video.
One of my subscribers sent me an electric motor conversion. Obviously it's far more effective than the vacuum motor, but the old school stuff is way cooler, lol.
Thanks for the r&d ! I need a wiper motor for my car, Glad that you worked all the bugs out no pun intended. it'll make it a lot easier for me thanks Dave
i have a 53 suburban and a 40 sedan. i would use ATF rather than brake fluid. should not need the syring, just put the hose into the can of fluid . thanks all for the ideas about vacum boosters.
Looks like the wiper blade on the driver side is getting stuck on the window seal. I had an old 57 ford with vacuum wipers. There never was enough vacuum to make the wipers perfect. I worked for an old 50s mechanic he told me to buy the duel pump, goes on where the fuel pump is. the bottom pump is fuel the top pump is vacuum, worked better. My 69 GTO had hideaway headlights, they used a vacuum can with check valve. You have options, I;m sure you will get it.
Most vehicles of your era car only had one wiper the passenger side was a special order. I think the other hole was to power up the second vacuum pump. There's a 12 volt replacement wiper motor available.
I'm pretty sure where you're pounding a bolt in that vacuum motor goes to the switch you might need to try a different vacuum line on your front of your carburetor one's ported and one is not
I wonder if you could install a push-pull cable similar to a choke. I had lots of vacuum wipers back in the day and I think some of them would have the vacuum going to the switch and then the wiper motor, one way on the other off. I also think others were cable operated.
Hey Dave. I have the same wiper motor as you have. Those wipers don't move like the ones in today's cars. Do you want me to shoot a video or take pics of all the under dash connections and so forth and you can maybe get an idea from it?
Like when the lady sat her child too close to the bacon slicer, the butcher got a little behind in his orders, but I'm slowly catching up with your posts, crikey it takes a lot less effort me to watch than you to produce but hey ho. Went to Tech in the 60's in a mates Ford 100E, faster he went slower the wipers operated. Wet days I went on my motorbike, yes the wipers were indeed that bad. Cheers for entertainment. 🇬🇧 🏴 😂
@@ScottRods the switch was in the middle top of dash by the windshield. It had angle washer on it like your front turn signal. Type 1936 chevrolet wiper switch on eBay and you will see a picture of it. Good luck
Dont laugh just a thought maybe a 12 volt air pump will give you enough vac for the wipers and you could leave it switched on then use the 12 volt switch etc.
Butcher a more modern electric one, get it out of something cheap easy and plentiful like a pickup truck. Just shorten the center section, basically like you did with the front cross member. Those vacuum ones will have you crazy or dead in no time.

You need a vacuum reservoir canaster to hold reserve vacuum when accelerating 😁

L shaped rod into saddle of the switch should do it.👍
Even with your spoiler alert, I enjoyed the video, Thanks for swinging over Dave. I appreciate it and you.

Great outtake you'll figure out the wipers be safe 👍
Ted is a great guy..
Use a cable to move the switch, perhaps from your box of brake cables

Man very nice job and thanks for explaining how to fix this I have the same sistem on my international 1950model L130

@@ScottRods yes sir keep it original is better

Nah, it's not getting stuck, it's barely touching the glass hahaha.
I think it is to connect second wiper my jeep 48 model was like this
good job on the wiper.
Hood "not done" . still needs to be bolted down so it doesn't fly off. and brackets for lower/side latches.
You are correct sir.
Add a vacuum canister with a one way valve to boost your vacuum and it gives you a little bit of a reserve
I'm thinking of installing an electric vacuum pump, if such a thing exists
Use a choke cable and when you put an L bracket of the motor you put the cable through the L bracket on to the lever and pull the cable it'll work

Forget to add needs full vacuum. On the original the vacuum came from a fitting below the carburetor. P S get the 12 volt replacement.

I thought about a choke cable type deal. Just seems overkill when I just need a short throw lever on the dash.
Hey Dave. I have the same wiper motor as you have. Those wipers don't move like the ones in today's cars. Do you want me to shoot a video or take pics of all the under dash connections and so forth and you can maybe get an idea from it?
It's just the control knob left to do. People have been sending me pictures so I just have to replicate. Thanks.
Hold...for the wipers to work well....they need to suck?
Exactly
I think you should toss the vacuum wipers and go to your local pick a part and get an electric set up out of little import.

The switch had a knob with a small stem on the bottom that stuck through the center of the lever on the motor
Any idea where I might find a diagram?

Correction its a wiper control knob
Could you use a mechanical vacuum pump say off a desiel pickup
Good idea.
I think it would have a L shaped lever on the dash
Also I seen a guy used a wiper off of a mg midget on these year model of cars
Dont laugh just a thought maybe a 12 volt air pump will give you enough vac for the wipers and you could leave it switched on then use the 12 volt switch etc.
Not laughing, in fact I just ordered one.
