1979 Camaro Windsheil Wiper Motor Feed

General Description
Non-Concealed wipers were standard from 1970 - 1978. The wiper system was 2 speeds, on/low and on/high. The wiper arms are chrome and are visible on the windshield. Concealed wipers were optional. They'll have black anodized arms and when off, will park (or drop down) behind the back edge of the hood.
Concealed wipers became the standard wiper system in 1979 with delayed (or pulse) wipers being optional.
3 different motors were used. The Standard motor, which is rectangular in shape, or 2 versions of motors for concealed wiper systems. A non-pulse (off, on/low, or high speed) or A Pulse wiper (delay). The concealed motor can be identified by it having a round cylinder hanging sideways from the motor.
The non-pulse motor runs from late 73 to 1981 and has an integrated magnet switch and terminal board.
The pulse system started in 1977, and ironically is the same motor as the 1970 - early 73 motor. It uses a separate magnet switch and terminal board.
