2 speed or Variable speed wiper... How can you tell?
« on: July 14, 2005 - 08:59:32 PM »
I read that the 2 speed wiper motor was standard and the Variable speed was an option.  However, it also states that the variable speed motor was mandatory with the shaker hood.

Can you tell from the dash what motor (2 speed or variable) was in the car?

On the left side of my ralley dash there is a dial that is labeled "WIPER WASHER".  Starting from the left turning the dial, it clicks once, then clicks again, then smoothly turns about ½ way over until it stops.  Is this a vairiable speed wiper?

Thanks everyone. ;D
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

That last pic was a 68 motor, 69 and new are cad platred if they are a 3spd or variable,
BTW, the only difference is the switch on the 3spd or variable set up.
