[bnchief]

Has anyone successfully added a vacuum boosting device to the model a wiper ?

Forget it. Use RainX. Better than any wiper.

I could not agree more. If it is good enough for airplanes if is good enough for an A! I rarely turn my wipers on anymore. Wayne

boosting as making it go faster or boosting as it doesnt shut off on long hills? if the later go to a junkyard and get a vacuum resvior off a modern car and mount it under the A. think of it as a capacitor but for vacuum - stores energy untill its needed.

94-97 s10's have a nice softball sized one bolted to the underside of the hood with a single vacuum line running to it.

Dorman and Help sell them for about 10.00... Do a google search
"Vacuum reservoir"

The ball type is what I was thinking just wanted to add something to make them work a little better, I know there is electric but they are pricey and still do not look that good. thanks fellas.

Install it with a one way vacuum check valve, between the reservoir and the vacuum source.

Personally I never put a reservoir on a A ...

I rebuilt mine and decided it's better to use RAIN-X.. Wish I would have invented it.Oh Well.

Chief used a 6 volt, ELECTRO-VAC, vacuum pump on his Old Chev truck. Looked sorta' like an old Bendix fuel pump.
