Can this be done? I asked this in another thread and think I have seen the same question but thought I would ask. This is in a 68 Superbee. Thanks ahead of time. Jim

No won't work, wish I could say it would, but it wont. More often than not I hear my wipers won't park and they just shut off where ever I turn them off at and normally it turns out that's a 3 speed motor and a 2 speed switch.

You have a 2 speed motor and 2 speed crank and 3 speed switch? Two speed motor won't work with a 3 speed crank arm either, the combination of the 3 components has to be "right" for the wipers to function correctly, i.e., wiper, crank arm and switch

Hope that helps?
 
Thanks for the information. Do you know where I can get a 2 speed switch? I have a three speed switch now knowing that won't work I will see if someone needs it here. It came with the Rally setup I purchased off ebay so not sure if it is good but has a nice chrome toggle.
 
Call Kim she,ll hook you up...1-865-365-5833

I might have a two speed switch, toggle I believe will interchange if yours is nice.

Shoot me an email or give me a call?

Thank you 1badgtx for the kind kind words! :icon_redface:
 
This is a picture of the dash before I took out the 3 speed switch. It has not been tested but should work as all of the others have except the dimmer which is in need of cleaning.

You need a 3 speed wiper motor, three speed switch, and you need to change the wiper linkage cam to a 3 speed unit. These items cam often be found on the higher priced/optioned C bodies.

Correct. In fact the switch that I have is from a C body...nice talking to you on the phone and we'll be back in touch and get that wiper and switch working :hello2:

I just tried to answer you question so it was really understandable....pics are the only way to do it really but my camera just took a crap....friggin Nikons....think I'm goin back to Fujis.

The rocker switch and the dicast housing on the C Body switch is different from a B Body so you cant even change the rockers to match unless you completely disassemble it and use the C Body guts and the B Body dicast housing and rocker.:violent1: Smashin Camera
 
WHAAAAAT??? Now we gotta buy you ANOTHER new camera???? Dude between cell phones, cameras and chainsaws lately you're breaking the bank ROTFLMAO :bootyshake:
 
Thanks for all of the help and I will try and find a two speeed switch or maybe have mine fixed.
 
Difference In Switches

I finally Got Some pics together to show you the diff in the dicast cases.
If you download the pics the are named what they are.....hope it helps.

He shoots, he scores! Thanks Jerry for the photos (and that's what the "better half" does, comes in for the assist LOL)
 
Thanks for the help I was able to find one on ebay for 45.00 with a good toggle also. Hope to have all of the electrical put back together in the next couple of weeks. I know who to talk to about doing a convertion in the future if I need to. Thanks again
