Switch on works but wipers mover extremely slowly. Should I give them a slight push to help the wiper motor gain speed? Car is '66 Sprite and has been sitting for years. All systems on the car work except I cannot find a washer bottle but there is a push button on dash.

The two speeds are rather slow, and not quite as slow. 
It might be internally goobered up. When the grease in them gets old it requires more force to push through it. Stupid trick/test is to steal the wife's hair dryer and warm up the wiper motor and exposed tubing. If it moves faster hot then you may want to repack it with fresh grease.
