Well, here we are sitting in sunny Northern California and dreaming about the Spring Carlisle Show already.  Preparation for this event has always had to wait for the weather and doesn’t just consist of loading a bunch of parts into a trailer and putting fuel into the tank of the tow truck. Oh no, much more is involved and we thought you might be interested to see how we spend some of our time preparing.

Trailer Gets Reinforcement Bracing So We Can Safely Haul More Parts.  Notice It Will Also Be Getting All New Brakes, Wheel Bearings, ets. To Help Slow It Down Coming Down the Mountains.

Tow Vehicle Gets New Garrett DBB Turbocharger to Help Pull the Falcon Parts Trailer up the Mountains.

Falcon Electric Wiper Conversion

One of the biggest headaches with the 1960-1962 Ford Falcon and Mercury Comets is the Vaccum Operated windshield wipers. Well, read on as there is a simple solution.
An electric wiper conversion is available from all models ( except vans ) of the 1963-1965 Ford Falcon and Mercury Comet. You will need everything including the motor brackets, underdash wiring and switch. This conversion will be available used only. Try to purchase the whole conversion from the same vehicle, that way you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues between the single speed and dual speed assemblies.

FYI the motor, wiring and switch are different between the single speed systems and the dual speed systems.  The wiper arms, blades and blade holders are all the same.

The headliner bows are of different designs dependant on the year and model of the Falcon. The different bows can be identified by the color painted on each end of the individual bows.  The bows are numbered 1-6 with #1 being the first bow behind the windshield and continuing back to the rear of the roof. Some of the bows will require an extension to fit properly and those bows have  been identified.
