DSE wiper motor

Hey, has anyone bought and installed one of those DSE Selectra-speed wiper kit? I'm thinking about buying one, but would like to know hard it would be to install. Oh I'll be putting it on a 72 Nova. I emailed DSE and they told me to use their 69 Camaro kit. P/N 121401, they say it come with the rectangular knob for that stock look and it should be a direct bolt in. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I have their wiper kit on my 72 nova. It is the same as the 69 camaro kit, and is very simple to install hook up: You just remove the old wiper motor, install the new one, drill a little hole in the firewall to fit the supplied wire harness grommet, connect the wiring to a ground and ignition hot, and you should be good to go. Hope this helps

I bought the DSE wiper kit and installed it on my 68' Nova. The motor itself is a simple bolt in. Of course you have to pull the instrument cluster on a 68 because the wiper switch is in the top left corner.
I didn't use the supplied knob because it wouldn't match any of the stock knobs on my dash. Instead I used a belt sander to turn down the brass stud on the switch to match the ID of my stock knob. Looks stock inside now.
The wiring was a simple plug in also.
I have nothing but praise to say for the way the motor functions. I got caught in a light storm during the 2003 Power Tour entering Dallas. That was with stock wipers and I sincerely thought I might plow into someone while keeping up with traffic. There had already been a 60's corvette demolished during the storm. Ran over by a rig.
This year on my way to the Nashville PT stop I left in one of the worst storms I've ever driven in. Driving through Knoxville in the dark with the new DSE system I felt as safe in the Nova as I do in my new truck. I'll never build another without the select-a-speed. Its the only way to go.

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy the kit from DSE. Hey 72novadriver, do you still have a copy of the install instructions? If you do can you scan them and email them to me or maybe mail me a copy of them. Thanks.

[72novadriver]

Yeah I'll dig up the instructions, and email a copy to you this weekend.

Thanks for the info. Are you going to post to this site or do you need my email address.

I'd be curious to see them as well, but I don't know that DS&E would like having them posted.
