I recently purchased a 1961 Classic Super. The heater core was bypassed and the wipers didn't work. I removed the core box and wiper motor cover expecting to find a vacuum motor but it has an electric motor. Was that available as an option or has someone tried to convert the wipers? The car is running on an electric fuel pump but the fuel pump mounted to the engine is a dual action pump. The motor install looks stock. Thanks.

'61s did came only with vacuum wipers, helped by a dual action fuel pump. So someone tried to do a conversion.
