Thanks! I have to find that lower heat shield and more rivets. Thanks again to everyone for the help and pics.

Rick - I would appreciate seeing the pics. Thanks!

Dave / 80WA7113 - Awesome restoration. Thanks for the pics. I missed the lower heat shield all together. Back to the Assembly manual.

Thanks for the info. I have the replacement housing: GM Part: 338471. This one only has 1 rivet holding it on. My old housing is gone and the rivet is in the exhaust manifold. I was going to drill it out carefully and replace. I doubt I can get a chisel behind the rivet head, but will check...

Has anyone successfully replaced the heat riser tube housing that is riveted to the right side exhaust manifold? The housing holds the tube that directs warm air to the carb. My housing is missing and I am planning to replace it as part of my restoration. Looks like the rivet is still in the...

Apologies if this has been answered before. I was going to repaint the upper end of my engine and learned there are two shades of Chevrolet Orange: Duplicolor DE1607 and DE1620 at my parts store. 1620 appears a more reddish orange. Can anyone shed some light on the correct colors for 2nd gen...

I use an XL cotton T-Shirt that I pull over the top seat cushion and have a terry cloth towel for the seat cushion. Easy and fast to remove when I get to shows. Cheap and comfortable.

Thanks for the washer pump info! Lots of options out there. I'm continuing to troubleshoot my OEM pump and will decide soon where to go from here. I strive to keep my car as OEM as possible. Found a NOS pump on the 'bay.

I had to do a repair on my wiper motor. The resistor on the terminal board rusted apart and I was lucky to find a NOS part on the 'bay. Motor is working fine again with new grease and clean-up. I disassembled the mechanical washer pumper to clean out the hardened grease and re-assemble. Haven't...

Possibly got the problem solved. After spraying the "park switch" a few times with electronic cleaner, the motor is going into "park" mode and stopping properly. I am continuing to test and plan to re-grease a few parts and wrap this up. Thanks again for everyone's help and especially "Double R...

Update - I got the wiper motor working on my bench using my wiper switch, a spare 12v battery and the video from Double R Restorations. My issue appears to be with the "Park Switch" in the motor. It will not trip /engage when the wiper switch is switched to "off" position. I can see the park...

rotinrob - where did you buy that power source? I looked at a few but didn't see one with that high of an Amp output. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to go with a spare 12v auto battery as my power source with an inline 25 amp fuse on the "+" wire. Appreciate everyone's comments.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, the issue is likely within the motor's park switch. I have the wiper motor on my bench and plan to do some troubleshooting this week. There is an excellent video on YouTube by "Double R Restorations" on these motors / switches.

Thanks again. I will go with 20 amp setting.

Twisted_Metal - thanks for the info. Another battery charger (that I can borrow) has a "car start mode" at 50 amp. Would this be more suitable? Has settings for 10/20/50 amp output. Appreciate the help. I am bench testing / troubleshooting a Wiper Motor w/concealed wipers; won't go into park...

I am bench testing my wiper motor unit and wanted to double check that using a 12v automotive battery charger is safe for a power source. I believe my charger is a 12v / 6 amp output. I just wasn't 100% sure this was a good practice. Thanks

Great info! Thanks to all for the help.

Green hornet - thanks info. Is is fairly obvious how to drop the column? If you can explain in a few steps, I'd appreciate it. I noticed a mount / plate on the column directly under the dash... haven't gone any farther. Thanks!

Has anyone had this problem with their wiper switch? Mine starting acting up and now will not shut off the wipers when the car is on. My setup is all stock. No one has messed with the wires or done any changes. My first guess is the switch has gone bad. Anyone ever opened one up and repaired it...
