Title: Pines gearhead trivia
Post by Pine on 08/23/12 at 11:18:49

No fair looking it up..... Just one simple question:

What kind of motor is the windshield wiper motor on the 1964-65 Ford Thunderbird?

kind= what makes it work...

if it was the same on my 64 Falcon then it worked off manifold vacuum.

My cousin's M715 Jeep uses vacuum for the wipers. His is 197x...something.

Air pressure from the spare? Yugo did something silly like that. I can't remember if it was wipers or washers though.

IIRC it's hydraulic motor, so that would suggest it runs off the power steering pump or an aux hydraulic pump of some sort. Been along time since I messed with one of those so I don't remember exactly.

You might try to find a local hydraulic shop to see if they can rebuild it for much cheaper. I think that is what we ended up doing at a Shop I worked at when we couldn't find one at the time.

Hydraulic stuff isnt that hard, is it? Have you looked for a rebuild kit?
Could you mod it to electric?
