I've been looking for a 3-speed wiper motor for my '69 GTX so I could put an original Air Grabber system on it. Today I needed to move (re; clean out) some parts from the garage to a shed/12'x24' building when I came across a '68 B-body 3-speed wiper motor part number 2889982 with a 3607 date code that I forgot I had. Will this work with my '69 GTX or do I need to make some mods or is there no way it will work and I'm SOL? Of course it will need cleaned up rolleyes and at some point professionally restored. At this point I'm not really concerned with the date code just want to get the AG on the car then go from there. Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's a bute Clark and at this point I'm not sure if it even works....but at least it won't hit the Air Grabber wink If it doesn't work I'll just Rain-X the windshield and drive home fast drive laugh2

The motor will work, you might need a different lever/cam to operate the 69 but I am not positive on that. The parts book would help you determine lever you need.

If the P/N on the crank is 2580934 and says V-speed it would just bolt in. You would need the 3sp switch also
I have restored motors with the correct P/N

2983116 for cars built after Nov 68
They do comingle

They are electrically and mechanically the same

Bill where's the best place to find one?

Would this wiper motor I have (posted) have a core or any value towards a '69 motor??

Thanks,

Mike

Im sure it has some core value, as to how much depends on who is interested in it
