Where is the best place to get a variable speed wiper motor for my '68 cuda? The motor that was in it when I bought it is a '68 b body three speed motor.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought the 3 speed and the Variable speed were the same.
Like to see some pictures of your 68 Cuda. 68 and 69 had a nice look to them.

I know 1969 A and B bodies share the same wiper motor. I would assume 1968 is the same is it not ?

Maybe. I know that they had different part numbers according to the white book.
I'm not really all that concerned about part numbers, but jest get one that fits. The one I have definitely needs to be redone. I'll use it as a core for a new one.

According to the '68 Chrysler parts book, both gtx6970 and mopar70rtse are correct. It shows A & B bodies use the same motor and the variable speed / 3 speed as the same part#.
A quick Google search using #3004114 found 2 available (depending on your budget
).NOS at $595 (enter 3004114 in the search box to save a lot of scrolling)
http://www.tonysparts.com/SearchResults.asp
Used at $225 (look for #813033 in the right side column)

P.S. Great looking car!

Just curious, how exactly does it not "fit"?

Whats wrong with it? The visual resto on those is not too hard. The can is black and the rest can just be fine glass bead blasted.
Here's my original 68 barracuda 3 speed motor:

Mine does fit, but someone did a really bad home repair job on it so it needs to be redone. What I mean by "just get one that fits" is that I don't care if it has the correct part numbers. I want one that is redone correctly.

I haven't had mine rebuilt with them either, but I would if it's going to need it. I did buy some parts and Kim is a very nice person to talk with and helpful.

I had mine done by Kim at Passion for Mopars and it looks outstanding. Dont have the car wired yet to try it, but i am sure if she took as much care as the looks, it works just as well.

Kim has been a great help, but doesn't have the motor I need. Does anyone sell the motors outright?

What? I told you I don't "stock" motors, I build as they're requested. You were talking the 982, then 962, then 3004114, which didn't I have?
You said you have crank arm 2770116, but said it worked on the car with the 982 you have on it. I've put the V SPEED crank arm next to the one you have and there are MAJOR differences in the angle of the opening for the output shaft, which can lead to binding, overheating the motor, or worse. Never answered my email about variable or two speed switch so I never set up anything for build because I thought it more important to build for what you're equipped for.
At this point I still don't know if you have a variable speed switch or two speed so I know what you have "the most of" so we can go in that direction or get you set up with the correct components for what you're trying to attain, i.e., variable speed set up (motor, crank and switch) or two speed set up (motor crank and switch). Tomorrow I'll root through our parts manuals and find out what that crank arm is manufactured for, for my own peace of mind.
It does little good to build a variable speed/3 speed motor if the car has a two speed switch and/or two speed crank/incorrect crank arm, it won't operate correctly and leads to frustration on your part and a "do over" on my part (or Bruce's). Doesn't matter who restores/builds the motor for you, if the components are mismatched/incorrect for the wiper motor, the result is the same: Improper function/operation and high frustration levels for you and the builder/restorer.
autoxcuda with a November 1968 SPD I would expect to see a 2983033. Did you mean a November 67 SPD?

Re: Wiper Motors - 05/28/14 02:49 PM
Sorry, Kim. I was not knocking you. I did tell you I have a variable speed switch in the car. I also said that the car had been cobbled together by a previous owner, so I am not sure all of what he did. I gave you all of the part numbers you requested, and if it looks like I should have a two spd based on the part numbers, then we should go that way. I know NOTHING about the part numbers for the wiper setup on A-bodies so I am trying to figure all of this out with you.
All I am trying to do is get a correct '68 setup in my car.

Yes, it's Nov 67 SPD. My bad. Sorry.
Not around the car right now, so I can't get the number on it.
