attach the nuts to the case studs through the firewall.
10.
Reconnect the four vacuum hoses as follows: Purple
to the cylinder on the thermo-vacuum valve, yellow
tracer to the body of the thermo-vacuum valve, red
tracer to the vacuum source "Tee" connection, and
white tracer to the vacuum tank inlet.
11.

Vacuum Tank
The vacuum tank is mounted on the firewall as shown
in Figure 97. Notice that the two vacuum lines are
clamped to the vacuum tank ports. *
Thermal Vacuum Valve
This heat operated vacuum valve is located in the
heater core input line. Figure 98 illustrates valve instal-
lation with clamps attaching the water hoses as well as
the vacuum hoses in place.
Resistor Assembly
Figure 99 illustrates the location and installation of
the blower speed resistor assembly.
Relays
Two relays are used in the system, both mounted on the
evaporator case as shown in Figure 100. The mounting
bracket forms a common ground for the relays and as a
plug for the hole in the evaporator housing used in the
Four Season system for resistor installation.

clutch at about 40°F and also senses outside air tem-
perature and sun load, is mounted to the firewall within
the engine compartment with its long neck extending
deep into the cowl vent plenum chamber. Figure 98 il-
lustrates this installation,
In-Car Sensor

relay coil, relay
armature
and
switch assembly,
is
located in the gear
box"
section and controls the starting and stopping of the wiper
through
a
latching mechanism (fig. 92).

section
of the
wiper
and is
driven by the wiper unit gear
assembly (fig. 93).

WIPER ASSEMBLY REPAIRS
The overhaul procedures for the wiper are broken down
into three major areas: The motor section, gear box
section and washer pump section. Each section may be
serviced independently of the other.
MOTOR SECTION
Disassembly
1.
Remove the two motor tie bolts.
2.
Remove the armature end-play adjusting screw (fig.
91).
3.
Strike the steel case lightly with a mallet to partiaUy
loosen it from the die casting housing and motor
field.
4.
Insert a tool through the armature adjusting screw
opening and push against the end of the armature
shaft to back off the case. This will retain the ar-
mature commutator in position between the brushes
until ready to separate the armature from the case.
5.
To separate armature from case while still retaining
the brush springs and brushes in place fashion a
spring similar to that shown in Figure 95 and insert
behind the brush leads as shown.
Fig.
95 - Retaining Armature Brushes
6. Pull the armature out of the case and remove the felt
washer, thrust plate, and rubber thrust disc from the
case assembly bearing as required.
7.
The field windings are pressed into the gear housing
and further disassembly is not recommended; how-
ever, the field leads may be unsoldered from the
brush holders to remove the case.
8. Clean and inspect all parts.
Inspect both the field and armature for damage
due to overheating such as unsoldered electrical
connections.
Check that brush leads are firmly attached both
to the brushes and their connections at the brush
holders.
Check brushes for wear. If brushes are worn to
within 3/16" of brush lead, or pigtail, they should be
replaced.
Check contacts of circuit breaker shown at top of
Figure 95. Clean as required or file lightly to re-
move irregularities.
Inspect all leads from the brush and circuit
breaker plate for worn insulation or tjreaks.
If it was determined by inspection that brush re-
placement was required, proceed as follows:
a. Remove retainer installed during disassembly and
remove brush springs.
b.
Place a hot soldering iron against*brush lead con-
nection on brush holders, remove old bushes, and
nection on brush holders, remove old brushes,
and install new brushes.
c. To reinstall brushes in holders, compress spring
within holder and hold fully compressed with a
thin instrument inserted through the slot in the
brush holder. Then push brush into holder with
lead upward to project through slot in holder, hold
