Welcome. For the wipers you will need an interval wiper switch, the interval governor box for sure. If the 86 car you are looking at as the interval wipers just get everything attached to the wiper switch. Follow that harness hown to the interval governor box etx.~David~

thanx for the input yea living ne'er the olyimpic mountains i figure in wipers would be nice along with the rear def.. and after i get the hole tilt column ill get the box for the wiper. no one has any source for a passenger turn signal lens?or a hood ornament.? the mast is there but douse not go totally up and down on its own and makes a clicking noise i dide swap out the am/fm radio for a factory am/fm tape player works great just gotta replace the crappy speakers now.. not a bad car for the 300 i got it for although the gas mileage sucks
