Here is a tip, send it to Jules and never have to deal with it again. Do it right once. 3 speed wiper motors look really bad, and cheap unless they are done correctly.

Jules does outstanding work!

Jules is the top choice, but if you are on a budget (like I am), you can do a decent job on your own.

Remove the cover on the transmission.

Clean the entire assembly using a Scotch Brite pad.

Clean the cover for the transmission and the harness with 409 or Simple Green.

Carefully tape the motor portion off as well as the part where the cover was. Paint this with Eastwood Aluminum (or equal). Remove the tape and allow this to dry for 2-3 days.

Using a painters tape, tape off the newly painted portion and spray the body - here is the point of contention - black. Some should be zinc chromate, so the Eastwood system would work, but I like Black. It my car after all.

Clean all of the hardware on a wire wheel (polish the ground strap). and reassemble. Retape the harness and there you go. I think my motor looks decent and it only cost about 20 bucks to do. That gives me more $$ for the budget!

Thanks I might try your approach. What did you do with the wires? It looks like they are soldered on the case...just unsolder then paint, resolder later?

---

They are not soldered (from what I remember), just tape them.

You budget minded people are not looking at the whole picture. You must have never had to try to replace the entire wiper system with the dash in place. Save money on stuff you can get to and unbolt in a few minutes. If the car is apart, there is no way I am going to not replace with correctly restored parts the wiper assembly, master cyl. and heater box and dash assembly.

I love my time and efforts and arms and hands and skin too much to do it more than once. And even though everyone in being nice, as soon as you look at the painted wiper motor you know what you are thinking.

If your budget is too tight to restore the wiper motor and never have to touch it again you need a different hobbie. After years and thousands and thousands of dollars to paint your car and you skip the wiper motor???

---

Not everyone has a spare $300 for a wiper motor!

I agree Jules is the master and when I can afford a car that is both rare and desireable, I will probably pony up the 3 bones, but on a 67 Belvedere with a factory slanty, I just cannot justify the expense.

$300 will rebuild a front end, buy a driveshaft for the 383 conversion, put a 3:55 in the 8 3/4 or put an exhaust under the car.

Well as long as the part is cleaned and freshly redone (whether to original finishes or not) I am fine with it. I also think it depends on what you are doing with car. Not everyone can afford or pull off a top notch resto. But that is not to say I would ever thumb my nose at another car guy because his car wasn't done exactly like the factory did it. I hope our hobby hasnt gotten that ridiculous.
