Anyone know where I might find a 6 volt wiper motor and installation kit for my '36 Ford 4dr Touring Sedan? I would rather not cut a hole in my header panel. I want to get one for both sides (two each other words). Thanks to all and May God bless you.

Hope someone has an answer. There is only 4 1/2 inches from the hole for the wiper arm to the brace on its right. I have tried the Mighty Might. It is not might and it might work but doesn't. I have looked at LOTS of 12 volt wiper motors and they are all too big. Haven't even seen a 6 volt electric motor. I had my Trico vacuum wiper motor rebuilt and it won't even move. I bought an electric vacuum motor and a small vacuum tank, that didn't work either.

Maybe a universal one for older Jeeps?

Before you modify your header to accept an electric motor, try sending yours to : Clean Sweep Wiper Motor Service (541) 420-9098 If you have a non-stock camshaft in your engine, the vacuum wiper will work sluggishly. I remove the wiper arms in the Spring and drive my car with the wiperes on and no arms to get the motor ready for when i get caught in the rain.

C & G Ford Parts offers 4 different electric wiper motors. Two are 6V and two are 12V. They state that some modifications are required for installation.

Hello flatfoot. One possible alternative to vacuum and/or electric powered wipers is a hot rodder's manually operated handle. That's what we've done with our '36 roadster. It works fine except in heavy rain. No hose or wiring required with this conversion. Definitely not a concours correct modification, but so far the arrangement has been trouble-free on our vehicle. Best of the season to you and yours.

HI FLATHEAD did you measure the vacuum [ with a good vacuum gauge ] inside the car, what reading did you get, 16-20 ? maybe there is a kink or clogged rubber line, or even in the metal tube, or even the intake port ,has a problem ? maybe a little 3 in 1 oil will help to get it to work I would not alter the car, I would send it out to get repaired the correct way like someone else suggested, it has worked for many years, why change it now, you can add a vacuum storage tank to help the up hills my 2 cents 37Ragtopman

I would rebuild the stock wiper motors and then add some Rain-X to the windshield. Has always worked for me.
