72 vacuum windshield wiper with LS swap
Hey guys. Quick question... I'm about 90% done with my LS swap in a 72 C10. I'm tearing out all of the factory air to finish installing the Vintage Air set up and noticed the wipers are vacuum. Id prefer to not have to run it off of the vacuum if possible. Anyone ever addressed this issue? What are my options. Thanks in advance. Trying to put my hours to use finishing strong.

Perfect!!! What are the lines coming off for? Look like vacuum lines? They are just hanging on?

Washer for windshield. You have the infamous GM electric wiper and washer combo setup!

 That is a good one sir! That is a factory electric wiper motor with the washer tubes installed. They send the water to the windshield when hooked up.

Re: 72 vacuum windshield wiper with LS swap
Wallby darned. Lol. Good to know. They were tucked up in the heating system when I yanked it out that's why I thought they were some sort of vacuum line. Honestly hope I never get caught in the rain with it. Thanks.

Swap the washer jug out for one with electric pump. Use the dash button as is to operate it. That's what I did years ago. I also added the delay wiper also.
