Thanks for the kind words. I really like trying to make things look the best I can, but it is really time consuming. Hoping to get back on the car soon.
Russell, the Battery Charger you're using as a power source: Do you operate it in Trickle or Car Start mode to test the wiper motor / pump? I was using a spare car battery (12v) but it's bad and won't hold a charge. I was going to get a charger like yours. Thanks
James, the one I have is an older one that I purchased from a local store here called Magic Mart. It is a Century 87062C, model 141-194-902, it has a 12V, 6A and 2A. I'm pretty sure I had it in the 12V/6A setting.
Russ - thanks again for your help. Does the cam on the back of the washer pump need to be aligned a specific way when the pump is re-installed back onto the motor? I have the self-parking wiper motor with the arm that comes out of "park"... does it need to be aligned to the washer cam somehow? Thanks!
hey guy nice to see ya again. that was a real learning there on the wiper motors. i may have found more of what you wanted getting it cleaned and checked out to make sure its good.
Great video about how does the gm wiper washer motor working. I'm now doing a 69 Corvette and I'm repairing that mechanism, and this video is very helpful to me. So thank You for this video and please do some more.
Great video. Hope this is similar to my 70 Corvette 3-Port Washer Pump. Wipers work but just can't get the washers to work. When I changes all the rubber gaskets, notices my piston was all the way down. Think that may be the issue?
Tough to say. I purchased a complete piston kit on eBay. They come up from time to time as a nos unit. If the solenoid is kicking in, then I would say its something with the piston.
@@DoubleRRestorations As I get more familiar w/my 70 Corvette, this year came with a 5 port pump which 2 lines go to the headlamps. Previous owner must have changed it out to a 3 port and removed the headlight feature. I'm going to buy a new aftermarket pump for about $100 and go from there. Thanks
Replaced my cylinder, put it back together and it doesn't work for crap, can't figure out what I did wrong, took pictures and everything. Took it apart about 5 times now. About to crush the whole truck I'm so fed up
Thanks Mark. It was a learning experience for sure. Now just got to decide on the bezel on the 72. I found an original that I have. Trying to decide if I should restore it or replace it. Lol
@@DoubleRRestorations Thanks for the reply. No worries. I picked up a repop from Ecklers so will see how that goes. Sucks cause my original works but the pump leaks and cant find just the pump.
@@archelo69 Not sure if this is the correct one, www.ebay.com/itm/Chevelle-Camaro-GTO-Firebird-Trans-Am-Cutlass-442-Wiper-Motor-Washer-Pump-NOS-R/333663884592?fits=Model%3ACamaro&hash=item4dafead530:g:CgcAAOSwZB9aF4HS . I'm always looking for parts on eBay
Obviously it's not glorious, but I'm guessing you're so much happier to have it done and figured out now, rather than it being one of those "bugs" in that first week or month that you drive the car around after finishing it.
Much better then using that after market one that seems really cheaply made ..... sure does not make sense to have to tighten springs and grease and tinker with to make a brand new part to possibly work consistently ..... you may as well spend the time rebuilding the good ole original just like you have shown .... Thanks for posting ....good job sir!!!
Ok this video is like most of windshield wash assembly. Mine works. Wipers work & park. But washer will not shut off. I have 2 Buicks with same set up & same problem. Does the star on back have to be on rod of motor? HELP with this problem. I have tried trouble shooting.
It's been awhile, but I had trouble getting mine to align at first. IT took me a couple of times. I think it just rides along the outside of it. It should just slip onto it though.
I love that your attention to detail extends to even the washer pump! Very therapeutic and a joy to watch :)
Thanks for the kind words. I really like trying to make things look the best I can, but it is really time consuming. Hoping to get back on the car soon.
Awesome job Russ. That worked out nicely
Thanks Erik. It was fun.
Great job & documentation! Thank you for making this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
As always Russ you did a great job on the restoration of that motor, and yes you are a bit away from needing it for Overkill
Thanks Darrin.

I'm memory serves me right it will only slip on one way.
That's some good info Russ. Awesome video
I hope it helps. Thanks Jeff

Cool! Sounds great. Thanks Rod!
Great Video Russ. Good info as usual. I'm sure it will help a lot of people. Keep up the good job.
Thanks Roger. I have never really understood this circuit until recently. I hope it does help others building these cars.
Nice job getting that pump going again.
Thanks Oz!

Thanks Patryk, I'm glad that the video helped you. I hope to have some more out soon. Thanks for watching
thumbs up and shared you forsure now know everything about the different types of wiper motors good of you to share your knowledge good job buddy
Thanks Drew. It was a fun project.
Looks and works great. Thanks for the tutorial, Russ.
Thanks Indy! It was a lot of fun and a good way to get started back on the car.

Great video, Russell. The factory pump is definitely better than the reproduction one. Worth the effort to do it right.
Thanks Lyle. I really like the way it turned out.
Loved the video this is real good information on these wiper motors i know one day i will be using this video to restore mine thanks a lot
Thanks Hanson. I hope it helps you on your project.
This is a repair set with the piston seal included! www.speedwaymotors.com/Reproduction-Windshield-Washer-Pump-Repair-Kit-Camaro-Nova,117570.html
Yes, that should work great
just bought one for my cadillac brougham, hope it works, keeping fingers crossed thanks for the info and great video!
Looks good. I wonder how dads wiper motor is.
Hopefully it just needs some cosmetic touch ups and new grease. Mine was siezed
Cool. I always wondered how the windshield wiper fluid pump worked in the 1970s and earlier.
Thanks for watching Duane
Replaced my cylinder, put it back together and it doesn't work for crap, can't figure out what I did wrong, took pictures and everything. Took it apart about 5 times now. About to crush the whole truck I'm so fed up
These things are frustrating for sure. Hopefully it's something simple. Did you get it working?
Dude I understand this sentiment exactly!
Excellent.
Many thanks!
Hello again sir. I don't suppose you have any of those recessed wiper switches you've rebuilt for sale? Thanks.
Robert I sure don't. Keep a check on eBay though. They pop up there from time to time.
Okay, thank you sir
Hi Russ. This series of wiper motor and pump systems was real educational and helpful. Hope I can use what I learned on my 72' project.
Thanks Wiley. I learned alot. I hope it helps.
Nice!!!! Came out great!!!
Thanks Mark. It was a learning experience for sure. Now just got to decide on the bezel on the 72. I found an original that I have. Trying to decide if I should restore it or replace it. Lol
I have the plastic star part that connects to the motor missing. Could I find it somewhere? Thanks
I dont think I have ever seen the plastic star sold by itself.
@DoubleRRestorations thanks for your answer, I guess I would need to buy a whole new motor, then. Cheers from South America!
@@DoubleRRestorations if you ever put another one apart could you send me a picture of the wiring to the park mechanism? Cheers.
@@defeyago Probably would have too
@defeyago Definitely will do I may have an older one in my basement of my shop. Ill check next time Im down there
Nice video. Good info.
Thanks Barry!
Do you provide this rebuild as a service? I need my 69 pump brought back to life. Thanks!
Archelo, unfortunately not at this time. Maybe sometime in the near future though. Thanks for watching.

Yea the aftermarket parts are hit or miss. Thanks for watching.
How far have you gotten on the Camaro?
I've got the doors ready to skin. Took some time off for a house project. This year has been slow for progress.
My pump works just never shuts off
Gotcha. One of mine did that and I think I had to tighten up some of the springs
@@DoubleRRestorations but thanks to your vid i got it going thank you sir!!!
@@operationrestore3308 Good deal. Glad to hear.
