Just for those of you that maybe interested, I got my engine running video finally working with sound for what it is worth.
You are welcome to take a look.

Well folks just to spice the end of this thread up a little, here are a couple of pic's of my dash and wiper switch mounted in the control panel.

I will be now focusing my efforts on parts of the project so it can drive and stop etc.

I'm nearly done but it is slow and many tasks are fiddly.

Thanks for the kind words.
Progress has been slow, but it is still headed in the right direction.
I've had to add a leaf to my front transverse spring as well as have the main leaf shortened and the next leaf lengthened and the next leaf was the new additional leaf.
That Cadillac flathead engine is very heavy and just sitting my shop I have seen that front spring gradually sink down somewhat... :shock:

Here is the latest modification I've made to this project, not electrical, but since this thread already contained pic's of the project, I figured it was probably easier to follow.
I made a pulley cover for the power steering pump in thread link.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5277&start=75

I have now mounted onto the pump and here in the pic's is the finished product.
It has been my first use of my bead roller that I fabricated some months ago and have been waiting to find a project for it to assist me with.

Sorry about some of the pic's, it seems they will only load if they are in the landscape orientation for some reason...

Glad you liked it.
Next project is a half hood for the engine compartment.
This will be a challenge for sure...
I got it photo shopped for a start to see what it will look like and since I am happy with that look, I am now working out how I will approach this project.
Probably wont need the bead roller, but will probably need to renew old friendships with some sheet metal guys I know...

I have started making the half hood, but since it is not electrical I will post progress on my bead roller thread, see link below.

Thanks for the diagram. That might help others that will want to "update" the 2-motor wiper system to the single one.

I pulled out this morning some yellowish diagrams that I did years ago, when I was implementing a push switch (horn type) mounted on the shifter lever so I can actuate the wipers at will. A single touch will make them go one cycle and return to rest. It worked. Later on I replaced that with a wiper delay system from Hella.

Unfortunately I have not marked all the colors of the connectors at the switch and at the motor, so your sketch is great. I will add the following color key from the harness at the switch connector that you have in the upper right corner:

Park ---------> Y
Washer -----> LB
Speed 1 ----> LW
E (Ground) ---> B
Speed 2 ----> LR


Hello all, can anyone explain to me what the "Park" wire does? does it have something to do with an intermittent function of the wiper motor? Also, does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement windshield wiper switch for a 1969 patrol? The shaft pulled out of mine so its in-op :( thanks!

...at least that I know of :D

Park is designed to get the wiper arms to stop in a predetermined position on the windshield so as to have them tucked out of the way and looking neat I guess.
Park means that the arms will always stop in the same position once the wiper switch/motor is turned OFF.

You probably have two options for a replacement switch.
Obviously, the best choice would be to find a NOS switch for sale, possibly on eBay which is a good start, but you must be persistent and not just look once and dismiss this lead if there are none listed the day you look.

Secondly, is to find a similar switch that will fit and work and just put your old knob on it.

I suppose a third option is just to replace it with whatever you can find that will get you out of trouble for now until what you seek turns up...
