Got a 72' Blazer and am working on the cowl. I started thinking about how to upgrade to a better wiper system. Thought that maybe a wiper delay type system might be an interesting addition, since I have to rewire anyway...
What controls the delay, the switch or the motor? I'm guessing the switch serves duty as a form of reostat (like a light dimmer switch), and the motor is clocked to provide a specific arch?
For the nozzle portion, I see three options:
1. The old style pinched tubing
2. The hood mounted style
3. The wiper arm mounted style
All in all, I think spraying the fluid from the wiper arm has the benefit of not having to time the spray pattern to the wiper speed.
The only article I remember seeing on this subject was on "The Mule" (PHR magazine, I think). IIRC, he used a aftermarket motor, and the rest was fabricated. Can't remember what he did for the switch.
Looking to JY as much of this as possible, probably with a dash mounted switch.
Any suggestions? Any possible JY donators would be helpful also. Thx!
