Upgrades to windshield wiper motors

[Wageslave]

I'm wondering, I know you wouldn't have park, but you could have delay, putting the module from say an 85-87(91) squarebody chevy? Only thing is the switch on the column are different part numbers on rock auto, so I don't know how the wiring would match up. Just another thought anyways as I have several of those modules from parted out squarebody's here

Perhaps, it could be made to work if you put the matching motor in. Non-delay G-Body motors lack the positioning switch that lets the delay board know where the motor is in its sweep.

I've never had the cover off of my 86 elcamino's wiper motor to see what it looks like because it still works, and was just thinking because of the park feature, does the arm just go in an arc back and forth or in a circle? If it goes in a circle you could probably make it work because the module for the trucks mounts directly under the steering column, but if it's and arc back and forth you would need to put in a different motor.

IIRC, when the motor parks, it will go to the standby position, then reverse and go 180 degrees in the opposite direction to pull the wipers down.

I'm also facing a conundrum with my current wiper situation. I had replaced my column with an '85+ Monte Carlo floor shift column. It has a pulse wiper stalk switch. I replaced the wiper motor with the later style in order to be compatible. Of course when i replaced my dash, it no longer had a dash mounted wiper switch. I never quite figured out why the wipers drag when I turn it on. It does seem to work in delay mode, but it's a question of not getting enough oomph to the motor.
There was a good discussion about wiper motors, etc, about a year ago. One our members used a wiper motor from a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville. It did require a few mods like using the arm from an S-10 wiper motor and using an external washer pump, because the new type wiper motor no longer has the pump integral with the motor. I'm glad this topic has come up again, I'm ready to get this thing resolved once and for all. So, I'm receptive to any solutions that are offered.

My 93 S10 had a pump that was electric and it was connected to the washer bottle maybe swap to that washer bottle

I actually have a small pump that came off of an Olds Ciera. It's mounted on to the reservoir/ washer bottle via a hole with a rubber grommet. It's not mounted yet. I hate to cut a hole into a fairly new washer bottle.
How is the S-10 washer pump installed?

I think I got a spare bottle let me take a look

Looks like this

Could you post a picture of what the S-10 washer pump looks like installed? I assume that it's also a separate unit from the wiper motor.
Actually, I think I may still have my old washer reservoir.

Ooops! I see you already posted a pic. I jumped the gun...sorry. The washer pump that I have is almost identical to that one. It's just fitted a little differently on the Ciera. GM probably uses the same pump for multiple vehicles. That's a good little pump.
Thank you for posting the pic.

It even has a little filter pick up tube in case of debris falling in

Mine is missing the little filter, but it should be no big deal to add it.
