DSE Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit (1961 - 1962 Chevrolet Impala / Biscayne / Bel Air) - 121660
Bring modern windshield wiper control to your classic full-size Chevy with the Detroit Speed 121660 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit. Engineered for 1961 - 1962 Chevrolet Impala, Biscayne and Bel Air applications, this system replaces limited original-style wiper operation with seven-speed control. Five intermittent delay settings plus dedicated low and high speeds give you the flexibility to match wiper operation to everything from a light mist to steady rain, making your classic more enjoyable and practical when the weather changes.
Detroit Speed builds the 121660 around a compact, low-profile modern OE-style wiper motor and a CNC aluminum adapter that connects the motor to the stock firewall bolt pattern. The complete wiring harness connects the wiper switch and motor to the under-dash control module, with the motor connector already installed on the harness to simplify installation. The wiper switch assembly is designed for use with the factory knob, helping retain the original interior appearance while adding modern functionality. Push-button windshield washer control is also incorporated into the system and can be paired with the optional Detroit Speed 121102 washer pump.
