Wiper Motor Question
« on: April 28, 2007 - 06:30:38 PM »
Can anyone tell me whether P/N  3431665 is a 2 speed or variable speed wiper motor?   :clueless:  What year car does it belong to?  I don't think it's right for a 70 Challenger - is it?   :bigsmile:
Thanks

3431665 is a variable speed wiper for a '73 Barracuda, Challenger, Charger, Coronet, or Satellite.  It will work fine if the four wires are in the 1970 position on the bulkhead connector.  On a '70 variable speed E-body bulkhead connector, when looking at the wires when they are plugged into the car, the brown is upper left, red lower left and the two greens are on the right ( the side of the plug with the funny shape). The wire positions on a '73 wiper motor plug might be different and so you may have to move the wires on the plug to make it work on the '70. Good luck

The 3-speed or variable has a soup-can motor mounted to the side.  The 2-speed is black and doesn't extend to the side.  If the motor is in its right car, the switch will tell you. The two-speed switch will have three positions: off, low, and high.  The other switches correspond to the motors

The variable speed motor they put in your Challenger (70-71) is #3431077.  They do pretty well on ebay.
