Hi everybody,
I just bought a rebuilt '68 wiper motor from Corvette America and the wires coming out of the motor do not match the wiring diagram I have. There also appears to be a missing moulded plug. Should I be concerned?

I might be, if I were you. Do some more research first. I am not sure weather that motor is '68 only, like so many of those parts. I just looked, Dr. Rebuild has the '68 listed as a seperate motor, corvette america shows only a '73 available. With this kind of specific part, if you want to keep it original, I think I would stick to Dr. Rebuild. I do often use his catalog as a referance for such things, and I do order from them as well.

Contact CA and tell them what you have is not right...and why. They should be able to send you the correct part. Perhaps it was mislabeled, or there was some other reason what they sent is not correct for your '68.
I'd contact them first, then go from there.
I think the washer pumps were different, for sure, on the '68 cars...
