David;
How are you making out with your electric wipers?
I have mine almost finished. I installed both motors so far, and have the hot wire run and ready, just not hooked up. Will be installing the grounds tomorrow, then will try them out. I am simply running hot wire directly from the battery to the motors, with inline fuse to protect the line. Trying a ground from each motor to the windshield frame bolt that's not going to be used. Hoping this will suffice. I have the hot wire run along the passenger's side door window frame down to the batteries.

Nick,
Wipers are still in the box. I have not blasted and prepped my windshield and window frames yet. Proably towards spring. Send me a pic of your installation.
Spent yesterday laying my wiring harnesses in the frame, marking wires, painting some pieces, and trying to fix my air cleaner top which I ran over when I first parked the truck in the garage. I bent it and can't get it to sit right. Visually it looks ok but I cant get the wingnut to line up with the stud. I hate to have to buy another air cleaner due to my stupidity. I also did the final timing adjustment and hooked up my distributor vent lines. I ran the engine for about 30 minutes. Also filled my steering box. I may get out there later but we are going for a drive to enjoy the weather. I need to unwind after the Christmas rush

Yesterday was a great day to work on our trucks...I was out in the garage for a little bit myself...but today....unless you have heat forget about it. It dropped 30 degress in like an hour here this morning.
Nick post a pic or two of your instillation for all us to see please.
Wipers..

I'll try to post a picture when they're done, however I've not had the best luck posting pictures, but I'll try.
David;
I have a spare air cleaner that I took out of my truck after I bought another one at Aberdeen. The spare has a little surface rust and is a little dirty, but its serviceable. Let me know if you want it.

Was 64 degrees here today. Weird one day heat wave. I used the time to wash vehicles and polish the wife's car. Badly needed it.
