The 57 I had in highschool days had factory electric wipers, and both my 58 and 59 have factory wipers that are electric??? To convert from vaccum to electric just put in a factory electric unit and the switch. I thought places like Carter sold them?

Hmmmm, you can go to webrodder.com, then click on tech articles. If I remember right, it's about halfway down the list. There's probably a couple hundred tech articles there. There's also a good one for one piece door glass and power windows on the Task Force trucks.
I see your "Posted via Mobile Device" and that link is a pdf file online, does that make a difference? Forgive my ignorance, my phone only makes phone calls.

That's SO 20th Century! Ha ha.

Youre right. It was my iPhone. Works fine on my computer, thanks!

SPW is hard to beat. In many cases we build from just a hull and all the OEM parts are missing. If you need to buy the shafts, linkage, and motor, you can easily get well above the cost of the SPW kit.

I am running one in my 47 and just bought another kit for the 48F1 that I am building. If you already have a wiper switch, you can get the most basic kit for around $230.
