DSE Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit - Non-Recessed Park - Round Gauge Dash (1970 - 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle / Malibu / El Camino) - 121608
Upgrade your classic Chevrolet A-Body with the control and convenience of a modern windshield wiper system using the Detroit Speed 121608 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit. Engineered specifically for 1970 - 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu and El Camino models with a Round Gauge Dash and non-recessed park wipers, this system delivers seven-speed operation with five intermittent delay settings plus dedicated low and high speeds. That gives you far more control than the original wiper system when driving through anything from a light mist to steady rain.
The 121608 kit combines modern functionality with an application-specific installation designed for your classic A-Body. Its compact, low-profile wiper motor mounts to a CNC-machined aluminum adapter plate that uses the stock firewall bolt pattern while providing additional clearance around the brake booster and valve covers. Detroit Speed supplies the motor assembly, control module, wiring harness, switch assembly, wiper knob, switch adapter plate and required installation hardware. The seven-position rotary switch also incorporates push-button windshield washer control for use with an inline electric washer pump.
