Found that the wiper motor on my '66 Fury VIP has failed; tested the system out to see if it worked and got the arms to move a little then magic smoke came out of the motor.
While disassembling everything I found the pop metal "cam"(?) was broken.

Jumping in a little late here because I just had the (what I think is) variable speed wiper motor from my '66 Fury VIP take a crap.
Mostly I'm jumping in to add the picture that might help someone in the future.
For the first time in a time longer than I have owned this car, I finally got power to the whole car (pretty much :p ).
Just have to button up the dash and put a radio in, otherwise the all the lights work.
A major milestone for me on this build.
So close, but still feels a million miles to go...
Further work on Furiosa today; got the kick down linkage installed, transmission cooler lines attached to the transmission, and the exhaust back on.
Waiting for parts to be shipped so I can finish the engine compartment then back to the interior.
When I contacted them I was also in the process of getting a new engine wiring loom for my '69 Barracuda. I inquired if they could maybe fix the Fury's. They said they would look at it if I shipped it to them in the fall (this was 2022 and they were looking at their "slow/winter" season).
Now...
When I got the car from a local auction it had no front seat, worn out carpeting and the rear seat upholstery was shot. The original transmission was being held in the car by the crossmember and a couple of bungee cords. The original 383 was disassembled on a pallet, missing the heads, cam...
Hey all. I don't post much but I've finally made a lot of progress on my 1966 Fury VIP and I'm super stoked!
Figured I'd post some pictures of where things have gone in the 16 months since I brought it home.
The one's Big John linked would need a bunch of mods to wire into the dash harness, from what I can tell.
If you could, take a look at what parts you might have and let me know.
Plz and thx.
My '66 Fury came with hood mounted turn signal indicators but not the sockets in the dash/speedo.
Found the factory wiring pig tails and would like to have everything work.
When I took the dash apart I found black fabric tape over the socket holes.
If there is some sort of generic "aftermarket"...
Still looking for 1 fender/hood mounted turn signal (picture for reference).
Does not have to be perfect as long as it still has it's mounting posts and the bulb socket isn't rusted together.
IE; usable condition.
TIA
