DSE Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit (1965 Chevrolet Chevy II SS / 400 Series) - 121618
Give your 1965 Chevrolet Chevy II SS or 400 Series the control and convenience of a modern windshield wiper system with the Detroit Speed 121618 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit. Designed specifically for these Chevy II applications, Selecta-Speed upgrades the limited functionality of the original wiper system with seven-speed operation, including five intermittent delay settings plus dedicated low and high speeds. That added range lets you better match wiper operation to changing weather conditions while maintaining a clean installation in your classic Chevy II.
The Selecta-Speed system uses Detroit Speed's compact, low-profile modern OE-style wiper motor design to provide a cleaner firewall installation and additional underhood clearance. The system incorporates a CNC-machined aluminum adapter, complete wiring harness and under-dash wiper control module. The wiper motor connector is pre-installed on the harness, simplifying installation by eliminating the need to pin the motor connector. A seven-position rotary switch controls the system, while push-button windshield washer functionality can be paired with the optional Detroit Speed 121102 washer pump for modern washer operation.
