Wiper upgrade
So I mentioned this before in another thread but thought Id throw it out there.... are there any wiper motor/switch upgrades for the 64-66's? I have a factory two speed with the washers.... but lets be honest.... I need good wipers if Buttercup is going to every be my daily. Josh mentioned a possible 8 speed conversion out of a bluebird bus.... any help and knowledge would be great.

Delay Wipers...
Found this: This page is all about delay wiper systems and how to retrofit them to your vehicle. This may not seem like a big deal to many people, but where I live it doesn't rain as much as you get a heavy fog. It's just enough to need to run the wipers ever few seconds. Leaving the wipers on low without sufficient water on the windshield results in running the wiper blades across a pretty dry windshield - and that leads to annoying squeaks on every swipe of the blades and excessive wear and tear on the wiper system. The squeaks alone will drive you nuts, and pumping the wiper switch on and then off again every few seconds gets old real fast. http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/DelayWipers.htm
