All of
the "M" body cars used the same wiper delay box. I don't know if it's
still available new ( 87 was last year of production ) but every New Yorker,
Diplomat and cop car I've looked at in a salvage yard had one.

Hi all,
Yesterday I took my 83 to my
nephew's wedding. It was a beautiful day. (We've already started
having some cold ones, in the 40s Wed night. *sigh*.)
I notice that
more and more, people are starting to notice my Imp and make comments. I
am guessing that it is getting old enough to look different? maybe the
new wheel covers? 8-)
Anyway, the right rear sway bar bracket is
still broken. However, this is what I came up with. I took a piece
of heavy rubber pipe insulation, covered with a piece of old carpet, and
tie-wrapped them to the sway bar where it meets the frame. Works like a
charm. You would never know anything was wrong. The only time it
clunked was over some good-sized bumps, and that was with my wife and I, and
brother and sister-in-law in the car.
During the reception it clouded
up and started raining. So, on the way home I got to try out my new
wiper part. The wipers work better than they ever have! They used
to vary as far as how far they 'travelled' on the glass, and would not always
'park' correctly. I am guessing that the 'goofy plastic part' was
wearing out for a long time.
One problem remains though. The
delay feature does not work. That was annoying as, when the rain let up,
I had to keep turning the wipers on and off.
I have not looked in the
manual yet. Anyone know if the delay is an easy fix?
Oh, yeah, I
was going to be in a car show today. Ha. It's thundering as I type
this.
