The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Electrical motor to produce vacuum...is there such thing?

As I work on my '30 Ford Roadster, I would like to use the original windshield mounted vacuum powered wiper motor and was wondering if there is such thing as an electrical vacuum source that I can use to feed the wiper motor, instead of using the engine to do so?

I will be running a flathead 59AB motor and I will be running a a 2x2 offenhauser manifold with two 97s. Is there a a source for vacuum on such set up?

No real plans to ever use the wiper, simply looking to have it functional.

Thanks in advance.
