My 66 had a single speed set of wipers, and converting to 2
speed/intermittent has come up here in the past so I finally decided to
undergo the conversion (it's about time, living in the pacific nw for the
last 9 years!). As I had learned from a prior conversation on the topic,
along with a little googling, I went to my local pick-n-pull and got a
switch out of a '90 bronco and a 2 speed motor out of a '74 ford truck. $14
for the motor and $6 for the switch. With the motor I also pulled the big
mounting bracket as well as the non-intermittent switch just to make sure I
didn't later regret not getting them for any reason.

Afraid to blow something or burn something out, I carefully tried to test
the motor and switch with little success before realizing that my assumption
that a particular wire MUST be for the washer was really for 12V! Once I
verified that everything worked fine, I proceeded to clean up the filthy
motor. I then removed my stock motor and replaced it with the 2 speed. Drop
in replacement!

I then removed the stock switch and did a quick dangling hookup of the new
switch to see the beauty of my new setup and it works! Now I just need to
shorten the shaft of the switch to match that of the stock switch and then
mount it, and it will look essentially stock. The only difference is the
washer is a push, rather than the pull with the stock switch, so that means
it will normally stick out a hair to allow room for the push.

What's cool is the wiring harness is identical between the 66, the 74 truck,
and the 90 bronco, so it's plug and play - no cutting wires!

If anyone else does this conversion, please share your experience! I'm sure
we'd all like to hear about it.

Some general notes... If your mustang has a dual speed motor already, then
your job is far easier - you only need the switch. The holes on the 66
mounting bracket are slightly larger than those of the 74 truck, but the
bolts from the 74 were a little longer, so I used the grommets and washers
from the 66 but the bolts from the 74. The little 2 inch arm that comes off
of the motor is a little different between the 66 and the 74 so of course I
went with the 66's. Other than that the 74's motor was a perfect match. When
removing the switch from the bronco I took as much as I could to avoid
realizing later that I cut out something I actually needed. That included a
little black box which must control the intermittent part. Motor has 4 wires
(slow, fast, park, and ?) and I believe only grounds through the body.
Switch has 6 wires. None of that should matter to you though as you just
plug the switch into the motor, ground the motor, and apply 12V to the
orange wire coming out of the switch.

Helpful notes from what I read previously... Use a battery charger to test
out the motor and switch before doing the swap. Looks like a switch can come
from a ford truck from the 70's thru at least 90 as long as it has
intermittent. Motor I'm not so sure on the range, so I tried to go back as
early as possible to make sure the mount is the same. There were plenty of
trucks that fit that description for both parts. When looking at the switch,
if the plug is red/orange then you've got the right one. Link where some of
this was discussed outside of our list:
forums.vintage-mustang.com/showtopic.php?tid/1234737/post/1234737/ (I
printed this discussion and took it with me, and being able to refer to it
gave me a lot of confidence as I tried to find and pull the parts).

Summary - FYI for those who do not know...

In most cases you only need the dash switch and the "delay controler" to convert your original wiper system to multi-speed.
the delay controller is moderately large item that mounts/connects between the dash switch and the wiper motor.
Yes, this is a plug and play set up.
...of course you will need to mount the controler under the dash, out of the way and connect the ground wire to a good grounded location.

You-do-not-need-the-wiper-motor, unless the wiper motor in the car already has a problem.

for 1971-73 owners...
Also, some dash switches have a long switch/knob shaft, some a short shaft.
- for 71-73 owners the longer shaft is needed, or you will need to modify the knob used on the shaft.
...a radio knob works perfectly on the short shaft version.
My original wiper knob did not modify well, in my case, I stumbled on the radio knob by accident, so, my wiper knob is a radio know and the radio knob is a funky wiper knob.

Why do you say you don't need the motor if you have a single speed setup?
The dual speed motor has a wire for low speed and another wire for high. It
has 4 wires while the single speed motor has 3.

Tonight I finished up with the switch installation and mounting of the
intermittent box. It went pretty smoothly.

I cut the shaft to match the stock switch, but since the new switch pushes
for the washer rather than pulls, you need to account for that small
difference in length. Otherwise it installed in the dash pretty much just
like the stock switch. I then had to find a way to mount the intermittent
box and that took me some time to figure out. I finally decided to bend the
bronco mounting bracket that was still attached to the box into a "C" shape.
That allowed me to attach it to the bottom of the dash (to the left of the
steering column) and also raised it up enough so as to not block access to
the fuse panel (well, it does slightly interfere with access, but not much).
The switch body has a ground wire coming off of it, so I grounded it via the
same bolt that I used to mount the box. I'm pretty happy with this
placement.

For the windshield washer I had to connect the green wire from the switch to
the black wire that was connected to the old switch. Actually I'm not sure
if the wire itself is black - it is wrapped in a black cloth material, which
seemed very odd to me. No, it's not cloth tape.

Everything works great! This was a very rewarding project and long overdue
since I've owned the car for 19 years and the last 9 living in Oregon. Now I
can't wait to drive it in the rain!

Oh, and I previously mentioned the minor downside of the "push for washer"
meaning the wiper knob has to stick out about 1/8 inch. I never noticed this
before, but my headlight knob sticks out that much anyway, so they match! I
don't remember that being the case - maybe that's just the way it was
reinstalled after it came back from paint (they painted interior too) or
maybe that's how the light knob normally is???

OK, but if you notice I described it as a conversion "from 1 speed to 2 +
intermittent".

And no, the information you received is wrong. The 2 speed motor has
separate wires for slow and fast.

I thank you for the difinitive on the one speed motor information Vs. two speed motor.
If I could remember who told me what on the conversion for this conversion I will pass it along.
I will see if I have it written some where in old notes.
again, I thank you for the clarification on the one speed conversion process.

Well the switch cost me $6 at the junk yard, and it was fun going there to
