Wiper motor and washer pump system repair, 1968 Firebird Restoration 

Gotta have the wipers and washers!

looking awesome!!

Great tips on fixing that wiper motor and GROUND. Little things like cleaning that can be frustrating when troubleshooting.👍

awesome video Jon. I am inspired to make my Camaro washer functional!! Thanks man

I love the pumpkin! I cant wait to see what you choose to work on next. Hell i'd watch you work on building a fire lol. You are meant to make how to videos. I may not need to know everything about a firebird, but i still enjoy watching it! Thanks for making them!😊

Awesome

118 Yesterday, 116 today...but its a DRY HEAT lol still too hot to work on my Bird but that's why I watch VVG!!!!

DassDope! Man you have no idea I've been wondering about that for the last three years I need to replace mine.

Need to do a Bandit Trans _Am next John that would make some cool videos. I actually bought a new one in 1977 but its been long gone . Keep up the good work, I wish I was as good as you on bodywork ...

As always GREAT JOB, , and the level of detail, LUV IT !!!! . That being said, I'm surprised you didn't install the rubber Weatherstriping on the Cowl/Hood. . lol

The wiper/washer unit appears to be identical to my 67 LeMans. Now I know how to fix mine!! Really excited to see what your next project will be. You can be sure, I'll be watching. Thank you so much for what you've done for us DIY guys. Your one of a kind and greatly appreciated.

I'm surprised you didn't fill the reservoir with mountain dew!

Every time I watch I learn something need. Thanks for raising my level of knowledge on these cars!

You should do a Sunbird next... 🤔😂 Oh...you'd need to make everything since nothing is reproduced.

💪😎

Usually when I do these I replace the whole unit because most of the time the bearings in the motor or shot and the brushes are almost gone on the Armature. also the control arms that go to the wipers I disassemble and relube even if they have nylon. Also the wiper squirter nozzles I take out and clean with small orifice bits. Sometime the old hoses breakdown in the inside that goes to the nozzles stops them up where they do not squirt properly, or when people pour washer fluid into reservoir they will get dirt and debris inside the reservoir which goes to the nozzles. Some reservoirs have screens on the pickup some do not.

Great video, very good getting the camera angles for us to see, not nearly as easy as you make it look. I always wondered how the washer pump worked,never had one that worked

Lubrication on the pivot points!!

Had a friend rebuild my pump years ago, I think I've used it maybe twice since then. When I had a new windshield installed back in 2019, I installed new blades. Very hard to find! I did find them at Autozone, but I had to buy a longer set, & cut them down. GREAT video, thanks for sharing!

Great Video again. All useful information. I took all of your Great Pumpkin videos made a general to do list on my Firebird project, then made a parts list of the items that my car needed from the to do list. Thanks for making such great videos. FYI I found summit carries almost all of the AMD parts I needed for my Firebird in Ohio. This is a short 4 hour drive for me so I saved a ton in shipping.

Thanks for creating these videos, I have learned so much. I feel like I could do this in my garage now. Have you ever restored a 2 gen firebird? I am not a huge fan of the 1974-76 front ends and was wondering what it takes to replace with a 1970-73 front bumper?

Looking great - did I miss the windshield and rear window install? You do this yourself?

Great content for a topic that doesn’t get any coverage. The wiper transmission (linkage) for My 67 Camaro is seized up and I have added multiple penetrating products to the spline on the passenger side , but nothing has freed it up. Do you know where I could secure a good used one?

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SPECIFY WHICH OF THE THREE WIRES FOR THE WIPER MOTOR IS POSITIVE. i KNOW YOU HAVE TWO GROUNDS AND ONE POSITIVE. THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY CAR IS ALL THREE WIRES ARE INDIVIDUAL AND NOT IN A 2 WIRE CONNECTOR. NEED TO KNOW WHICH WIRE IS POSITIVE AND ON WHICH PIN DOES THE POSITIVE CONNECT TO. Thanks

Jon, what's the trick to removing the wiper arms? Seems you need at least 3 hands and a screwdriver for the tab. I can't get any leverage to pull it up off the splines. Thanks!
