Cool, lemme know!

[Flash68]

FYI, Jegs has the 6AL on sale for $204 right now with a free Blaster coil. I just ordered it.

I'm not sure if they've still got it all, but Goodies Speed Shop in San Jose should have all of that in stock. Even the wiper kit. They did last time I was there at least. And they always have the coil and ignition box in stock. Give them a call and I'd ask for Rich. He might remember me. I used to work there. Tell him Allen told you to ask for him.

FYI.....Most blasters have to be mounted right side up. If you are looking to conceal it or mount it somewhere fancy there may be better options.

Already ordered from Jegs. Thanks.

I have the Blaster 2 en route. I think we were going to mount the box and coil in the passenger-front corner and conceal it. I think we will be able to mount it right side up there? Seemed like plenty of room....

I will call DSE and ask them. If you can hold this for me until Monday and give me first dibs, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

[speedshopmike]

not a problem

Thanks.

I wonder if it makes any difference that I just got a 67 dash for my car. ?

[speedshopmike]

year to year fitment issues include some or all of these:
motor mounting pattern, wiring harness/plug differences, knob cosmetic style differences

Sounds good. We aren't going for original resto here so if it's something simple, maybe it'll be fine. I will call DSE first thing on Monday and let you know.

thanks Mike

If Flash68 doesn't take it, I will.

You have a 68 as well? So you are thinking this fits our year with little to no modification?

No, it would be for my '67 project.

I've got one of the DSE wiper setups in the '68 I've actually got on the street and it's great, with the only exception being having to reach out to the dash to change the wiper speed. Do that for 8 hours on a long trip and you'll appreciate stalk mounted wiper controls.

Ouch. Why does it require you to do that??

And maybe you know the answer to the difference behind the 67 and 68 wiper kits having different part #s??

thx

I drove from Seattle to Los Angeles in my '68 December 19-20, through some pretty heavy winter weather. The road conditions varied from dry, to slightly wet, to very wet with with cars throwing up rooster tails, to light rain, to heavy rain, to snow. All of those conditions - which often changed back and forth in a short distance - called for a different wiper speed, especially because I don't have a windshield washer installed and didn't want the windshield to streak. With a windshield washer it might not have been as big a deal, but under those conditioons I would have needed a 55 gallon windshield washer fluid reservoir.

As for the DSE kit, I just took a look at my '67 and '68. The '68 firewall hole for the wiper motor is sort of triangular with very rounded "points." The '67 firewall hole for the wiper motor is round. My guess is that the mounting plate for the '67 DSE kit is different than the '68 mounting plate.

That's a nice trip there in a 40 year old car. :D

Ok thanks for checking. I will call DSE Monday to confirm.

Enjoy the weekend.

Hey Mike, I checked my pics and mine has a round/oval shaped hole like you said your 67 is?? So maybe this will fit mine after all....

Hey Mike, what is the shape of the mounting plate with your kit? Round/oval or more triangular? Here is my firewall...

Here's a shot of the wiper mounting point in my '67:

Interesting.... well my oval is a lot closer to your circle than a triangle! :D

My bad. I was looking at my project '68 (which is all wrapped up in a tarp) and pulled the tarp aside just enough to take a look. Turned out, I was looking at the wrong hole. I just took another look and mine is exactly like your picture (only not painted as nicely). It's quite diffrent than the '67 mounting point.

Okay, thanks. I will still call DSE Monday.

Any word yet? I'm ready to buy if you pass on SpeedshopMike's DSE wiper kit.

The word is that it's not worth it for me at this price.

Thanks for the offer, SpeedshopMike.
