Just a quick question. I recently purchased a 1930 Model A Tudor and Itcame with a hand operated wiper. What is the correct wiper motor for this car ? As far is I can tell by the engine block number it dates 06/1930. Thanks in advance.

I purchased a trico vacuum wiper motor for mine on ebay. You also have to run a vacuum hose to it which I found at Mac's..

a vacuum wiper is the proper thing.. do you have the vac line from the manifold in place to the firewall then from inside the firewall it runs up the a pillar to the top of the w/shield. from there a rubber hose connects it across the wshield to the motor
if the lines are present it might be plugged off.... if not youll need them to convert it back to original if you so desire

Thank you for the info model a mike, wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a vacuum or a electric one.

No Mitch//pa there isn't a vacuum line in place but def no problem to get one and run it as described. Thank you for the info.

Clean and paint a vacuum wiper, put some authentic looking tubing from your wiper to the hole in the windshield frame. install a new, correct wiper blade and get some RainEx. You won't need a wiper.

No need for a wiper unless your car is inspected by any authorities public or private.
