Yes the knob on the side of the steering column moves a cable that connects to the vacuum wiper motor on the firewall. If you go electric then you will either need to mount an under-dash switch, or get a wiper motor off of a 55-57 Chevy passenger car that will bolt in the Packard location and is electric, but is still activate by a cable. Look at my Project blog for information on that.

If you would like I can move this thread to the project blogs forum for you, or you can start a fresh thread there yourself. Just please name it similar to the other threads in that Forum. So something like Koolkojak's '51 200 or similar.

Thanks,
