78-88 G Body cars like my Monte are notorious for having issues with the heater/ac,gauges and the windshield wiper motors.The intermittent feature stops working,the electronics for it is in the wiper motor cover,which is now discontinued by GM,and not available from NAPA either.I've replaced it once,now its stopped working again.There is an aftermarket vendor that does have the original GM part in stock,but he wants $ 150.00 for it,plus S&H.I looked through the junkers in my buddys yard the other day and got a wiper motor out of a mid to late 90's Dodge mini van.The motor was in line with my brake booster,but I was able to re-clock the motor.I took my motor out and found that it would be possible to get the Dodge motor in place,so I mounted it temporarily with Vise Grips,it needs to be grounded to the body.I did get it to work on high & low speed and got the intermittent to work but only with the wiper switch/turn signal stalk on high speed.It wouldnt make a full sweep either,so the arm would need to be modified somehow,maybe lengthened.I put mine back in for now,not sure what step to take next,wiring & electronics arent one of my strong points.
