DSE Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit - Non-Recessed Park - Sweep Gauge Dash (1970 - 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle / Malibu / El Camino) - 121610
Upgrade the windshield wipers in your classic Chevrolet A-Body with the modern control and convenience of the Detroit Speed 121610 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit. Engineered specifically for 1970 - 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu and El Camino models equipped with a Sweep Gauge Dash and non-recessed park wipers, this system provides seven-speed operation with five intermittent delay settings plus dedicated low and high speeds. Whether you are dealing with a light mist or steady rain, Selecta-Speed gives you far more control over wiper operation than the original system.
The Detroit Speed 121610 kit combines modern wiper performance with an application-specific installation. Its compact, low-profile modern OE-style wiper motor provides additional clearance around components such as the brake booster and valve covers. A CNC-machined aluminum adapter mounts the motor to the stock firewall bolt pattern, while the complete wiring harness connects the system to the under-dash wiper control module. The motor connector is already installed on the harness, eliminating the need to pin the connector during installation. A seven-position rotary switch with a billet aluminum knob controls the system and incorporates push-button windshield washer operation for use with an optional inline washer pump.
