Sam Griffith's 1969 L78 Chevelle...WOW!

[mockingbird812]

Thanks for the kind comments fellows. Below photo is the little bugger that I am waiting for in Saturday’s mail (Magnetic Relay Switch to place the wipers in the park position). I fried this when I incorrectly set up my electrical test of the wiper motor ! Then I’ll throw the whole thing back together and reinstall on the car. The other photo is my progress to date.

And Tom (WilmasboyL78), thank YOU for your bold prediction that this car will never see inclement weather. Fear not, I plan to make this ol’ Chebby my Daily Driver - I am even planning to disable a couple 2-3 pistons to turn my ‘velle into gas-sippin’, tree-huggin’, eco-friendly means of transportation. I’ll even start tracking my mpg in my signature so you will see how good of an idea this is!


P.S. Darrell, yes I’ve got an extra NOS 4215C if that is what you need. Send me your mailing address via pm.

The magnetic switch was early in the mail and waiting for me after work today so I had to install it and test it. 1st “On” / Low speed, 2nd “Hi” speed, 3rd “Off”/park. The washer pump tested good too. The white doo-dad in the video is the switch that I replaced and it releases and latches the drive shaft that connects to the wipers. Brilliant Rube Goldberg!

Well done Sam. I may be bending your ear soon for a wiper motor repair.
