....AMC was the last US Automaker to use vacuum wipers, discontinuing vacuum wipers at end
of production 1971. Extremely desirable electric wipers have been installed on many a AMC
vehicle that originally once was vacuum wipers. It is not a "stock" issue, it is
a"safety" issue. Vacuum wipers are not reliable and will lock up upon
acceleration. Stock won't mean a damned thing if you can't see and risk injury to
yourself, passengers or others on road coming or going to a meet or show. Every vacuum
wipered AMC I have owned since 1976 it is the first thing to get rid of. You can find
brand new Prestolite electric wiper motors easily for about $199. You will need the
crossarms under cowl, and wiper blades and arms, Trico is original type and can easily be
found, although you can get aftermarket blades and arms at local auto parts store. The
electric wiper motor has it's own wiring harness and female plugs. This is factory schematic for
installing. You will need to change your fuel pump or plug off the vac side. It is a easy
conversion providing you find the wiper motor mounting plate....and the Where's Waldo
wiper dash switch itself...but worth it to add this option to your classic. Below is the
factory AMC Part Numbers, usually embossed on most switches, not all of them. The 68-69
AMX & Javelin switch has longer shaft than 70 same, and a 70-72 Hornet wiper switch
can be used (and cheaper to find!) for 1970 AMX & Javelin also. Good luck, Eddie
