Bugeye Windshield Wiper Motor

[Paul McGuffin]

Will a 1965 Sprite windshield wiper motor work in the bugeyes? Mine goes at slow motion now and is 180 off

The '65 motor will fit but the electrical connections will be terminal type and not screw type
Why don't you fix yours instead?

The "slow motion" is likely the dried grease that's filling the motor, and the inner cable and sheath. A good cleaning with mineral spirits and fresh grease will almost certainly bring it to life again. They are really not that difficult to work on. The 180 off is probably a matter of park setting being set wrong. Simply rotate the cap until it parks where you want it.
