Forget it. Use RainX. Better than any wiper.

Re: vacuum wiper motor boosting
boosting as making it go faster or boosting as it doesnt shut off on long hills? if the later go to a junkyard and get a vacuum resvior off a modern car and mount it under the A. think of it as a capacitor but for vacuum - stores energy untill its needed.
94-97 s10's have a nice softball sized one bolted to the underside of the hood with a single vacuum line running to it.

Re: vacuum wiper motor boosting
Install it with a one way vacuum check valve, between the reservoir and the vacuum source.
Personally I never put a reservoir on a A ... Last edited by Mitch//pa; 09-16-2016 at 08:39 AM. |

Re: vacuum wiper motor boosting
Chief used a 6 volt, ELECTRO-VAC, vacuum pump on his Old Chev truck. Looked sorta' like an old Bendix fuel pump.
