Intermittent Wipers
I'm wanting to put intermittent wipers on my 67 GMC. I did some research and found this http://www.revolutionelectronics.com...t-wiper-module. does anyone have any experience with this?

Re: Intermittent Wipers
I have one in my Burban. I don't have a lot of miles on it yet, but it works as advertised and was easy to install. I really liked the the fact that you only have the stock wiper switch for control and it is unmodified. Its like a toyota wiper system in that you have set speeds not infinite speed control. I have some photos and notes in my WMB (Working Mans Burban) thread if your interested.

I bought mine from a member here twouvakind. Great product. You do have to drill another hole though in the dash but for me it was fine. The first picture is a mock up with old dash.

Re: Intermittent Wipers
Thanks for the info guys. Since I drive mine daily this has got to be better than reaching forward all the time when it's just a heavy mist.

The one in my 71 is great. You have a lot of delay time are not which is a really big help when just a mist are heavy fog is in the air. I drive my 71 all the time and I'm telling you, you want find a better product!

Re: Intermittent Wipers
Was in your same shoes about a year ago , basicly no need to spend more then 15.00 dollars , all you need is a Potentiometer for $10. and another 2.50 for a plastic housing . got this from Q Kits electronics online . been working flawless for almost a year now.

Re: Intermittent Wipers
jrainman, could you elaborate a little more on your modification. I also daily drive mine and like the rest above, having variable speeds would be a big help. what exactly is a "Potentionmeter", how does it work, where can one be purchased, and most importantly, How to hook up/install? sorry for all the questions, but I dont even know what a Potentionmeter is. And sorry for hijacking your thread Tim67
Sorry, just saw where you posted wher one can be bought.

Re: Intermittent Wipers
I just looked up this Q Kits thing https://store.qkits.com/wind-shield-...le-mxa041.html
It's a kit form of the delay modules I used back in the 70-80"s. I have a couple of them I've scrounged up at swap meets. For 12 bucks it's a pretty good deal. You have to find a place to mount it and it's not a clean as other choices. You could remote mount the potentiometer and then just need an extra knob somewhere on the dash.
