Hi,
Installed two vacuum motors for the wipers, but when I switch them on the speed is very fast!
The motors are the original one lever ones, is there an way of reducing the vacuum level to slow them down?

Re: Wiper motor speed
Seems like you need to instal an adjustable valve in the vacuum line.

Re: Wiper motor speed
Interestingly, the early style wiper motors had two knobs (one for on/off and one for speed control). Later motors had only a single on/off knob. Options might include adding a vacuum valve under the dash, or perhaps in the engine bay where the vacuum line connects to the manifold.
