One last thing before I switch out all of my parts.
My car is 73 Cuda. Wiper motor is wrong, from 74 A-body. but I have a 2 speed switch that works fine. Since the motor is wrong I'm thinking the car should have just a 2-speed motor. My fender tag does not have anything stamped about 3-speed wiperd.
DO ALL 3-SPEED WIPER CARS HAVE A FENDER TAG CODE STAMPED ON IT???
Maybe I just need a 2-speed motor ???

Don,
Please take my advice that I gave before and before you go and replace all your parts. Go to the vendor section here and look for the new vendor "Jules the Wiperman". He restores wiper motors and bar none is the most knowledgeable person on the subject of wiper motors. Send him a PM with your questions or click on the link he has posted. I am sure he will gladly help you out and can answer your questions with an assurance that some of us here may not be able to give!! :2thumbs: I know you've not recieved a good answer on some of your questions. Jules is the man to ask!! Good luck and keep us posted!! :bigsmile:
