warren55 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 In 1973 the Avanti II used a wiper switch from a Chrysler Imperial. True of False? (I have a selfish reason for asking this...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Wow....good question!....I'll have to eyeball my own '73 (RQB-1967) tomorrow and see if that's a Chrysler switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren55 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I had mine apart a couple weeks ago, and it turned out to be bad wiring and not the switch, but out of interest I tried to find a suitable replacement. This is as close as I could find, and the back of the switch is identical to mine. The knob is different and there isn't a washer button that I know of, though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131228850627?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 And this is one is comparable and much cheaper. I was thinking of buying one "just in case"! http://www.ebay.com/itm/191269240040?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren55 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 The answer to this question is: FALSE! With the help of some Mopar guys, we think we have found the right wiper switch! Don't expect to find a replacement at your local FLAPS, though. It's from a 1972 AMC Matador or Ambassador. If anyone would have one, I imagine it would be Dan Booth. http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/400792,16973/1972-AMC-Matador_Photo.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Warren, My 76 has the same switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren55 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 From what I've gathered, it was used from 73 to 76, at least. Luckily, I don't need one but it was just bugging me that I couldn't find any information on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
