Nice ride @One of few! Can you share details on your wheels and tires? I'm waiting on a set YearOne Rallye wheels. Part Number: MRWDS1 (8" front, 9" rear) which are currently out of stock. I have not decided on tires yet. What are you running? Tires on my Challenger are 15 years old. Look...

Thanks. Bill Meerholz @ bmcuda.com is about 40 minutes from me, so high on my list of repair companies. :thumbsup:

I've been searching but so far come up empty. Looks straight forward though. I'd need to practice soldering since I've not done any in a lot of years. Location: Edinburgh as in Edinburgh, Scotland?

Thanks @MoparCarGuy. Strikes me as an odd design choice for an electrical device. Good thing my car lives in the garage and not the shed with my oft wasp infested mower 🐝

@EW1BH27 - Have you seen this Mopar Connection Magazine article? It details their wiper motor restoration done by Topher McGinnis. 3-Speed Wiper Motor Restoration by The Headlight Motor Man I notice the same hole in their motor too. So probably a design feature, not damage. 👍

Thanks @MoparCarGuy. Good to have choices. Just curious if you noticed the hole in your motor too or if that is in fact a coincidence.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do about getting my motor repaired / restored / replaced yet but did find something interesting or coincidental while surfing eBay. Looks like that hole in my housing might just be a feature and not some random damage. Check out the attached image. It has a...

Weight reduction is always costly 👍 I had just saw YouTube video "Mopar 3 Speed Wiper Motor Restored" that mentioned "a guy in Salem, Oregon", but as a courtesy, didn't mention the guy's name without the guy's permission. Thanks for the reference! I also found remanufactured motors at Norm's...

@EW1BH27 - I came across your videos and several other of your very informative threads while searching for information on this topic. Thanks for all the content - very helpful. Based on the video, I estimated your 3431077 motor was running at ~30 to 35 RPM Low and ~120 RPM High. I assume the...

1973 Challenger Rallye 3-Speed Wiper Motor #3431 665 (73692 3562) What RPM does your 3-Speed Wiper Motor run on Low/Med/High? I bench tested my Wiper Motor using the car battery (car not running). It runs at ~30 RPM on Low and ~60 RPM on high. Retested it in the car using the 3-Speed switch...

@EW1BH27 - I have been going through the wiper switch/harness/motor trying to get everything working correctly. I'll go through the parts book to make a list of all the washer system items I need and then reach out here to do some shopping. Thanks for the feedback and tip about Floyd. I'll...

Hey @EW1BH27 - where did you source everything to upgrade to the new reservoir, washer motor/pump, etc...? The PO of my 1973 deleted the entire washer system and I'd like to reinstall it.

@61K T/A - what brake fluid will you use? I've heard good things about DOT-5. Thinking of using DOT-5 instead of DOT-3 since I'll basically be replacing the entire braking system. How about you?

@61K T/A - My kit arrived 4-1/2 months after date of order. A lot has happened in that 4-1/2 months. I've needed to move the car around a few times to accommodate other activities in my garage, so I haven't started the installation. At least I was able to install new leaf springs (ESPO) and...

@GMachineDartgt - No. 116 days and still waiting.
